Too many choices. Better stick with the plan.

OK, now you're just showing off:) Turn on the disco ball...that should heat up the garage just fine:thumbs:

"I'm stickin it in"

What a coincidence, I said the same thing to my wife this morning. :hide:

As you can see I left the trans in the car this will be a first for me I've never put an engine in with a manual trans in place.

I pick door number three, Monte.

So, stop your yapping and stick it in already.

Sorry, I got that line from the wife.

Don’t forget to lube it as required

And make sure you don’t hear “That’s not it” during insertion.

Ready set go. Man my monkeys are good and they work for beer:thumbs:

Good job Reno!

I've lost some days on the '63, as today marked our 5th day that we had no power! This afternoon, it finally came back on.

We did "ok" but you really miss electricity when it's not there.

How far did you get?

Pat

Ain't it pretty :D

You really stuck it in good. …. sorry, I got that line from the wife. :D

So, I gotta admit, the thread title made me look. :hide:

:yesnod: Great progress. It should be a blast to drive with the new power plant. :thumbs:

FYI if you stab a engine in with the trans in place. The motor mounts need to be on the frame not the engine so you can just slide it on to the input shaft
