Well after getting the engine in and checking her over i found a few clearance issues that were not acceptable. The rear corners of the block ar much to tight to the firewall and could cause a serious vibration during operation. The passenger header was up against the subframe and the collector could use a dent to give it more room. I also had an issue with the quick disconnect on the trans that required me to pull the trans back to make right. Well, in the process of doing the trans removal I cracked the bellhousing. OUCH!
So with a Mission trip to Nicaragua coming up on the 19th, I decided to let it sit and start the pullout and repair process when i got back. Igot sick when we returned and had to let this fever get under control before really geting back to the car.
I've cut all my wire ties that would restrick the motor being pulled up and forward and disconnected the others, like the exhaust maniflods etc. Don't really care for going backwards on this build but it will be a better car when these issues are fixed. Back to hooking up the lift and getting the motor mounts bolt out so it can go up and forward for the clearance work on the firewall I need.
