[FC] Concern on head removal

[Ken Hand]

 BUT, like any good Yooper you have mosquito repellent in every glove box! LOL

BTW, I supplied the replacement head.

Hello Daniel,

I did this in 2008 on our '65 Greenbrier.  Left side head, lowered rear of 
engine, carb studs had to come out.  It depends where you are and what 
tools you have available.  If I was home I would simply remove the whole 
power train on my modified motorcycle jack and roll it out on concrete.  In 
this case I did the head swap in the front yard of some nice country folks 
in the northern lower peninsula of MI, next to their '56 Plymouth project 
car.  I only had a floor jack and a pair of jack stands, and the van was 
parked on sandy dirt. At least the weather was fine for working 
outdoors--the only bothersome thing being the mosquitoes.
