Here's mine coming out. No happy hooker and no problems. Really wasn't that hard, especially because I had fast93z and solid95z helping me.

Getting ready to do it again.
That was my 355 coming out to make way for the 385 LT4 stroker last year. Recently I hurt the 385, so it's coming out soon for a bottom end rebuild.

Shame as that motor ran great. 432/468 at the wheels. Car ran 11.30's in 95 degree weather, pulling the front wheels 4-10" on launch (depending on track prep etc) I had since taken about 50 lbs out of the car and was aiming at 10.9's in the cooler fall weather.
