It was a very busy day today, I was able to get alot of things done & everything worked out very well for a change. I had a few little problems while getting the engine put in, I had to swap out the right side motor mount with another one that I had. It seemed that the legs on the bad one were twisted and some what bent under. The good thing is that I just happened to have a good extra. Then finally when i was bolting up the right side header, now that was a test in itself. It took 2 of us and having to losen up the motor mount and jacking the engine up just 3/4" to get the header flange to line up with the head. Once the header was bolted up, I just simply let the jack down and everything just kind of "snapped" right into place.
It actually only took us about 10 minutes to get the motor sat in it & bolted up to the mounts. Everything else was pretty simple and straight forward as usual, except that the space is indeed quite limited and very tight in some places. Other than the few minor things mentioned before, it wasn't too awful bad of a task.
I have alot of pictures to show, And here we go...........................,
