What a nightmare of a job this has turned out to be. Got the engine in with A LOT of persuasion. Going to have to remove the anti-lock brake module so I can mount the power steering pump. Need a hat to put on the intake for the air cleaner, it won't work with the original air filter. Mount up the oil and trans filter to the radiator. Mount an electric fan to the radiator too. Run the lines for the torque converter lockup. Mount and run the accessory gauges. Re-connect everything. I'll get some pics up of the progress. It'll get done, but feels like one step forward and two steps back. Soooo much stuff to get done to this car. Still finding more that needs fabed up. We'll see how it turns out. Had to disconnect the windshield wiper motor to get it to go in. Had to take off the power steering from the engine to get it in. Still have to tweak the engine mounts to get the bolts through. One sides aligned, the other is just off by a 1/2 inch. This AFTER I torched off the tabs on top to get it in. Grrr.... Hope this is worth it. Feels like a never ending mission!
