a car without an engine is not a car, so my engine is back init now

[gonzothegreat]

So here we were about to check that the chains would hold up....

flywheel, clutch etc... installed

scary, new engine on chains.....

That picture is priceless

IT'S IN,
but that was not the last of it. It was rather easy to drop the engine and bolt it onto the bellhousing.
The last 4 bolts that hold the engine on the engine mounts were a bit more difficult to install. But after some clever thinking,, we'e managed to found a way.

We did not scratch too much the paint work, only one or two minor scratches (i'll fix that later on)

I love that picture


as usual more interesting pictures there:

Looks Sweet! (love your driveway too.) What are the engine specs? Is it a rebuild of the original engine shown on your site videos?

Looks good but, where's are the Magnums? I thought you ditched the white wheels.

Awesome Job!!!

Just something I noticed, you have your temperature sending unit, and heater hose elbow flip flopped.

I cringe when I see an engine with a big hole in the top to drop bolts in. I generally stuff arag in the open holes, it would be a bitch if you had to pull it apart to retrieve lost parts. Just a thought.

Not that big of deal, but it will look cleaner if you don't have hoses and wires crossing behind the distributor. It may make it a little cluttered.

nice thinking about the hose I like that.
