Nice, hoping it all drops in easy! Thought mine would give me a struggle, but it litterally fell onto the block dowels like butter. Best of luck!

Well, that was a FIGHT. I think it was the combination of the dowels and the new motor mounts that were a little fat from front to back. It didn’t help that the small garage limited the angles we could use to go at it, but we got it done. Or at least, the bolts are in the mounts and the bellhousing bolts are all in. Taking the rest of the day off, I’ll go at the accoutrements over the weekend after I work tomorrow.

Six hours of garage calisthenics will do that to fella. Let me guess- your hips hurt from rolling around on the floor and your neck is sore from holding your surprisingly heavy head up?

Yeah it is a workout for sure! Had to go get my back cracked after. My helper left me hanging on Wednesday, so manned up and slapped that sh*t in myself! Dang two installs in the SAME WEEK! Freakin stoked!!

Yes, all of this! And I feel like someone took a sanding wheel to my shoulder blades, haha.
