Well, I didn't wake up dead or any more sore all over than I usually am when I drag myself out of bed each morning. I guess I didn't damage anything critical in my body yesterday. Now all I gotta' do is figure out a way of getting the short block from the floor up on the engine stand. I think I'll temporarily put on the cylinder head and use the cherry picker to do that. 'Couldn't be any harder than pulling an engine up Mt. McKinley!
And thanks to all here who have volunteered to help me with further engine trips. I've got all your names and will contact you when I'm ready for my next adventure in stupidity.
