Great ideas (painting and adding fuses). Why didn't I think of that when I pulled my 4/4 Crossflow engine to replace the clutch a few years back. Next time . . .

Awesome suggestion with the fuses! Not being too electrically inclined, how do I find out which amp fuse to use for each circuit?

The biggest thing with a crossflow 4/4 is to protect the feed from the starter relay/solenoid that runs across the car to the fuse box. Unfortunately I can't find my photos, but it is worth putting a 30 or 40 Amp fuse at the solenoid end - should stop any magic smoke getting out.
As for calculating fuse capacity for each circuit, there is plenty of info. on line. If your car is anything like my old '76 there are only 4 or 5 fuses in the car. A lot of circuits are not protected, for example, headlamp circuits.

Had some buddies over to pull the engine/transmission. Took maybe 10 minutes.  [img] https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/h...147b21a8a3c5471[/img]

I hate the work of sanding though!
Engine is at Macy's Garage in OH being well taken care of.

Finished sanding, then doused the bay in lacquer thinner, and now goes on the first few coats of Eastwood Rust Encapsulator. [img] https://scontent-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...amp;oe=5469BB68[/img]
