[FC] ENGINE WOES

[J R Read_HML]

I've had the heads off with engine in - in a car.  Imagine that it can also
be done in a truck.  Can't think of any reason why not, but then I have my
engine cover hinged for easy access because there is a car engine in there.
You may have to lower the rear of the engine in order for the head
(especially left one) to clear the frame rail.  Also, might be easier if you
can unscrew the tall carb stud.
