Engine Installation

It is finally time to drop in the engine...

After almost a year on the engine stand, it is time for the engine to go into the chassis.  

Here we are ready to install the engine in the chassis.  Since I was not using the stock headers, I could not get the factory lift brackets back on the engine.  So I used a tow strap wrapped around the headers and under the oil pan.

The system was good enough to get the engine in the car, but we did have to pull the radiator to slide the engine in.   Anyway now that the engine is in the car we can start hooking up all the hoses and wires.
