March 19th 2010: swapping engines

It's amazing how scary easy it is to take an engine out of
VW, I loosened up four bolts, and that thing dropped right
down...















I found a generous fellow in Oakland named John who was willing to help me install an engine he had recently rebuilt.

He even ran the engine for me right there on the sidewalk using a gatorade bottle full of gasoline!













Few hours later we had the the engine bolted in, and I was beginning to formulate a long list of things I would need to pick up to get this thing running (voltage regulator, generator, etc)...
