Thanks for the info guys. Yeah I knew that @Sniper made a post about it, I was just curious about other opinions.

Hi, I'm curious what bolts to use to mount a flathead 6 to a 1 ton Harbor Freight engine stand. I know there is a post about it, just curious what you guys use.

Yeah, finding a used one can either be good or bad but I'm not spending 3k on a new engine for this car. More like around 500.

@rustyzman I'll look them up!

@wagoneer $3000 is pretty steep for me and he doesnt ship. I'd preferably want to find something more local and not so expensive. But thanks for the link.

@lostviking Didn't end up getting it. Must of had a lot of other people wanting to get it. The hunt continues...

@greg g I do still have the trans and bell housing for the plymouth. Not even sure if im going to get this yet because he hasn't responded saying it's available.

Hi, I'm looking for a replacement engine for my 1949 Plymouth. I found this one on Marketplace but he lists it as a 213. Did he make a mistake and mean to say 218 or is there such thing as a 213? The engine I have now is a 218. Wondering if this would fit? https://www.facebook.com/share/vRefakVSW4treWkF/?mibextid=kL3p88

@Matt Wilson Ok thanks for the info. I understand what you're saying. I'm still going to try it anyway. If I mess it up, there are more engines out there to replace it. Im not planning on taking the block to a machine shop. I want to leave the engine in the car and remove the ridges and put the pistons back in with new rings in them.

Yeah I watched that video. It was a good one. I went with the snap-on one.

Ok, I was looking at new lisle ones and there were mixed reviews. Found this old snap-on one on ebay. What do you guys think about it. Ive heard they're a good brand. This is the new lisle one I was looking at. I could do it but some of the reviews weren't as good.

Thanks for the comments guys. Can anyone link a good ridge reamer tool to get? I know for a fact that I'm going to have to get one in order to get the pistons out.

Wondering what the steps would be to remove the crank with the engine in the car. I'm reconsidering pulling the engine and just doing honing and valves with the engine in the car.

@soth122003 Yes I've watched that video a bunch actually haha. That's a good idea to get a load leveler, it'll definitely make it a lot easier. Our car is out on grass away from our barn that we'll be putting the engine into so we're thinking of using our grandpa's tractor that has this grapple attachment to take it out. Might make it interesting connecting the load leveler to it but it'll be a lot easier to transport. @D35 Torpedo Ok, so you used your head bolts but put them into the side of the block instead of the head? I'll probably get new bolts because those head bolts were rusted and I don't trust them!

All of this was to get at a transmission bolt and I was actually able to get it underneath the car with a bunch of extensions so I don't need to take the floor out after all.
