The hard part is all the little things associated with the heater, and exhaust system. Take all the time you need. Items skipped over here will come back to haunt you. Read and study the manual first. If your car is IRS (69-73) make sure to support the rear of the transmission before you start to lower the engine, or you take a chance on doing serious damage. Of course this is covered in the manual. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
