Default Motor is in

Got my motor in the car today.



Only had a few problems...

...Hmmm those headers won't work with that exhaust, we'll need to visit the muffler shop before we take it home.

...I thought you got a fuel pump with a return line

...Do the power steering hoses go over or under the frame rail...oops I guess that was under...oh well, just pull the hoses, we'll move it.

...This piece of crap A/C hose is the biggest piece of junk I've ever seen.

...The threads on the evaporator are junk, gonna need a new one of those.

...You won't be needing the A/C for a while anyway.

A few more days of work and it'll be on the road.

Now...about the weather in Minneapolis today...sucks
