Over the hUMp on engine install!
Well it took a long time, there was a lot of prep and cleaning and painting and modifying and installing and everything else, but with the help of Terry Rudy, I finally got my short block (heads are on the way, long story) and TKO installed and last night managed to get the motor mounts and tranny mount dialed in. :cheers:
At first it appeared that the motor mounts werent going to work, but I loosened everything up, installed all the bolts, let it settle, and everything fell into place. :cheers:
Terry took some pics of the intall http://www.rudys.net/chrismotor/
I think the next big hurdle will be getting my driveshaft installed. I am a little worried that the X pipe will be in the way and that I wont be able to get it in. We'll see. The slip yoke is on its way and then I will get the stock shaft cut.
Hopefully the heads arrive soon or I will run out of things to work on!
Soon to be :auto:
