I figured this thread deserves one more update.

With the help of a couple awesome friends, the engine and transmission were installed for the final time this weekend. (hopefully)

The "frame" was cleaned in the car and the pinch weld removed. The mounts were all tacked into place. The plate mounts were welded onto the plate and the engine mounts were welded into the car. The engine bay received a nice rattle can coating of matte black Rustoleum.

Bonus: I had enough time yesterday to fit the front radiator support and start the fabrication on it and install all the brakes, lines, MC..etc. (still need to bleed everything)

Last piece is trying to make headers/exhaust work.



















1/4" clearance between radiator and water pump pulley







Header issues...



That's not going to work...
