Engine and torque tube are in...
Not much left to go, drop the headers back in, intake, alternator, valve covers and coil packs, last but not least, the rear cradle. Probably a couple or 3 hours left. 
That torque tube was a beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeotch.
Only broke one thing, the stupid oil sending unit because I put it on the new engine before I dropped it in. Dummy. Of course I won't be able to get one tomorrow.

I think this one will be particularly hard to write since there is so much stuff. I wll make it complete as I can. The biggest problem with this project was that I did so many things at once.
