    Car guy Road Trip through the Southwest

    '67 Fury engine removal question??

    sorry to get a little off topic and this might be a dumb question but thats never stopped me before.. whats a typical reason to remove the stub anyway? other than a different way to remove the engine/trans why would someone do that? also how would you align it correctly when installing it?
