Roughly paraphrased into modern English, and applied to figuring out what's wrong with your car:
The simplest explanation that fits all the facts is probably the right one.
Standing in the corner, slathered with Vaseline, in a plastic trash bag, with a bunch of transmissions, bellhousings, odd lengths of scrap metal, some old jack stands, and a transmission jack wedged against it. That must be the way to do it, since that's how my spare that isn't in the spare block is sitting...
That sounds like my garage. 3 BBC blocks, a 400 block, 2 TH400's and a spare PG. Numerous other engine parts, 3 crankshafts in bags standing up in a corner. I've also got a bunch of SBC parts stuffed away in cupboards.
All projects that I'll never have time to finish.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power."
