Not that bad with harmonic balancer remover and installer tool. Never hammer a balancer onto the crank nor use the bolt that holds it on to install or you will pull the threads inside the crank. You can remove bottom pan and front cover to put new front seal in. Then remove rear main cap to...
Remove the cable from the speedometer, drop it down and remove the cable completely from the cable housing. Clean it really good with some spray lube to remove all the old grease. Sometimes there is a dry hard blob in the cable housing that will come out when you remove the cable. After getting...
I would not put this engine in before putting a new balancer and front and rear main seals. A lot easier on a stand than in the truck. I have had a balancer spit the rubber out on an '89 1 ton with low miles.
That wire looks nearly new. How did you get a new strand of wire caught on the drive shaft?

A good radiator shop can remove the brass tanks and install a brand new brass core and it's not a 30 year old radiator any more and it's good for another 30 years.
You can install a 3' or 4' prehung steel door in the side of the container where the door of your vehicle will be when parked. Open the door and drive in the end to where you can get out the door easily. Then lock the doors and your good! Just be sure to install the door to open out and install...
