406 is onboard...
Well, the 406 was bolted in today. Nothin' else hooked up except the motor mounts and bolted to the trans, BUT IT IS IN THERE.
Man, I cannot wait to see what thing can do...

I would probably be still out there thrashing so I could drive it tomorrow. I was so stoked when I finally got to drop my motor in I didn't want to quit. My help quit on me though. Hard to find good help any more. LOL!!
Did you happen to take any pics of the install?

Re: 406 is onboard... (Eddie 70)
Sure, have some picts of it coming out. Its sitting in there now without the rad / rad support so its quite open. Used new poly motor mounts that were really tight and made it a vit tricky to align the trans & motor mounts at the same time. But it finally dropped in there.
I painted the engine bay, cleaned up some wiring, installed new vacuum hoses and removed some stubborn pieces of the old AC system (stored them for future owners) too while I had the chance.
I'll work on those pictures...
