Why not??? Overhauling an engine sure beats sitting around with a 6 pack and a tele remote or manicuring each blade of grass in the lawn, or having to listen to some 30 or 40 year old house mouse bitch about the kitchen appliances that she never uses anyway. I mean WTF!!!
Agree about the grass. People do that for a living so who am I to deprive them. No one around I have to listen to and wouldn't if I did--which is probably why I don't have one around. Never could hold a 6 pack but will confess to going thru more than one remote and do own several.
As to the engine, Only have one inline -- a 47 356 I had rebuilt years ago but never installed. Has just sat so probably rusted solid by now. If I were to tear into it again, need to be comfortable and no more spare rooms available. Just don't think I could find a place it could fit into the house. If it did, with the way I approach my projects would get tired of falling over it before it ever got done.
My history of projects leaves a bit to be desired. Have many started and spread all over the place, some good ideas, most probably not. Usually the scenario is I start on something, need a part and send away for an item. By the time it arrives have moved on to another project & forgot what I had planned to do with whatever arrived.
Perfect example was my AC was almost finished, car halfway back together and was actually looking like something would be complete. Got to thinking about the brake thing again and how something looked. Also had an idea of another way to attack the ratio problem which I wanted to try. Stopped the AC and tore out the brakes (which I said I wouldn't do to use the car as a test again)--have some stuff on order and we're off to the land of nothing ever ending.
