Re: What’s the most practical way to swap engines?
I've always been a fan of buying a running driving donor for a project as long as it has the correct engine and trans you want for your project. That might be reasonably easy where you live as you can hunt down the good running V8 "winter rig" They may not be as cheap now as they would be in the spring though. That good running mid 80's two wheel drive pickup or maybe ex cop car caprice that runs great but is all rusted out might be a good cheap donor that you can sort out the engine and trans before you pull them.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
