DAY 7: What do we have here

C8DE. Apparently that means that our engine block was cast in 1968 for a Ford Falcon/Maverick.  That's cool I guess.  We knew it wasn't the original.  The head on the other hand says C9DE.  So, that's from a '69 Falcon/Maverick.

We took out the drive shaft in preparation to take the transmission out.  In retrospect, we should have set the car higher on the jack stands so we could drop the transmission down and get it out from underneath easier.  Lesson learned.  We'll have to devise a plan and jockey the jack around a bit to get everything lifted up.

Pawpaw gave us some new (to us) tools!

awesome.

This is great man-stuff right here:
