Default Rack back in

I FINALLY got the rack back in I guess I missed the 30min record by about 7 days
Just for the record (and anyone else planning on doing it) for me personally the key to getting it back in, was "lowering " the cradle (which took about 10 mins.) With the extra space, I was able to get it rotated and back in place. (It also helped to wait until the weekend so I had daylight so I could see without having to use a light)
Thanks to everyone that helped out. Special thanks to Mark C5 for the offline help

You mean the "never ending list"?
*Find out how to keep blower bracket from hitting LS2 TB plug
*Get radiator low enough to run blower intake pipe over the radiator
*Figure out how to keep blower outlet from hitting fan shroud
I am TRYING to get the radiator "relocated" enough to run an over the radiator intake, so I did the modifications to the rad. brackets, only to find out it STILL doesn't fit Don't know if there's something else I can mod, or if I am going to wind up buying a "relocation" radiator bracket from procharger
