I measured an engine lift my friend had, although it would fit it wouldn't give me room to get my arms under the engine. I will be picking up the frame and chain fall from my brother in law tomorrow night and plan to do most of the work saturday. I took the out drive off the other night.

I bought that oil pan in ebay, got it painted up. Glad I didn't buy a new one.

If you were closer a good friend of mine knows a blue gum geechee that he's seen lift a 350 out of a sea ray and set it on the dock.

Translation please? I know what a 350 is, and from how you've phrased the sentence I'm thinking that a blue gum geechee is a person? If so...WOW!!

What a P.I.T.A. Spent all day saturday working on it. Put together the frame for the chain-fall (project in itself), disconnected everything, pulled the engine, removed the rusty pan and put the new one on. The manual said to install the rear mounting bolts first after lowering the engine back into place. I had a heck of a time trying to do that, couldn't line up the engine and get the bolts in. It wasn't until that I loosely installed a front bolt was I able to get the rear ones in. After I finally got the rear ones in, I called it quits for the day. I was over heated, beat and tired.

"Rested" yesterday with the grandkids over, and I am still sore.

I think I could have used a " blue gum geechee" what ever that is...

Just need to check the alignment, reconnect everything and re-install the outdrive.

fun stuff.

I forgot how we did it 3 different times, but it is a pain and we used no book so we made it up as we went along

Well you are almost there!! One more day and you will be glad you did it yourself, saved yourself a ton of cash!

Congrats!
