The engine is now in its final resting place between the frame rails! It was dropped in late last night under the cover of darkness with the help of the moonlight. The saga came to an abrupt end as Steven and I in a last ditch effort found ourselves atop the drivers side valve cover desperately attempting to seat the dowel pins in the motor mount and in the last heave of all our weight....SNAP. ITS IN!!!. It was truly one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard.
ON a much less dramatic note we spent the daylight hours of the day greasing all the grease fittings, fabing up an bracket to make the e - brake function correctly, piloting the rolling chassis around the driveway with Fred Flintstone power, installing the intake manifold, the bellhousing, the clutch fork, throwout bearing, clutch assembly and finally the entire transmission on to the back of the engine.
How it all went ( minus time, labor and 4 trips to hardware store):
How it came to us
