planning to drop a B motor into ek, are the bolts tough enough to require air tools?

 

you dont NEED them but they make life easier.

 

just make sure you have a good breaker bar for cranking off some of them bolts

 

nope, air tools are not necessary, just some good ol breaker bars or a nice long piece of pipe. Just finished up my swap yesterday and we used an impact gun on about 6 bolts total and the crank pulley was def not one of them. only reason we used the gun was cuz it was out and we got lazy but you def dont need a impact gun.

 

 

We banged out a swap the other month in 3-4 hours using air tools. With a breaker bar, etc, expect to take almost two days if working by yourself.
