Engine Swap Videos
We have several small clips of the engine swap. Had to do it this way because this process took about a week. Was hoping to be able to post these four categories as a slideshow but Photobucket has changed their format and it just won't play that way (sorry).
1st segment is Eric's engine coming out:
http://s133.photobucket.com/albums/q52/ ... 0Part%201/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
2nd segment is my engine coming out:
http://s133.photobucket.com/albums/q52/ ... 0Part%202/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
3rd segment is my new engine going in:
http://s133.photobucket.com/albums/q52/ ... 0Part%203/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
4th segment is my new engine running and fond farewells:

Again...LOADS of thanks to Eric and Gary!!!

Rear Suspension
When we got back from the Engine Swap @ Eric's I had another unexpected project. The clamp that holds the shackle on the rear passenger side apparently had broken in half on our way home. I discovered this on my post-trip inspection. I knew they eventually would have to be replaced but this kind of forced the issue. We went ahead and replaced all four. THAT WAS A JOB! Those shackles had been in there for YEARS. The nuts and bolts were rusted together and they did NOT WANT TO COME OUT! It took DAYS to heat them and beat them out of there. If you notice, we had to cut the top of the bracket that holds the shackles to get to the bolts. I'm told this is one of the toughest jobs to do on these Eagles. Well, now they're done, hopefully for a long, LONG time. We bought all new nuts and bolts from Jefferson.
