Re: 1936 V8 LB engine for sale

What's wrong with this AD? For years when I was looking for a LB engine I couldn't find one. I thought his was a good deal, no responses. What's wrong?

Re: What is the easiest way to install a throwout bearing

From underneath. Pull rearend & transmission. It's only hard the first time.
Once you've done it it gets easier. (Had mine out 3 times in a row before I was satisfied with the transmission)
