My first muscle car build thread (lots of pics)
Woke up, feeling aweful again. Santa brought me some nice things including a 23" lift jack and a load leveling thing for the hoist. dug the engine out of the garage and got it to the car. put the rear freeze plug in, put the magnum pilot bearing in which worked great! Put the flywheel and clutch on. Like usual I had issues mating engine to trans the clutch plate has to be dead nuts on for the trans to go on easily. once i got it centered up nice it went on like butter. dropped the engine in the car and got it sitting in the mounts thinking to myself man was that easy, then i realized we forgot to put the damn headers on! I really haven't been thinking rite since I got this cold. anyway fought the headers and got those in and the engine back in the mounts! nothing is bolted down yet but the hard part is done and over and I achieved my goal of setting it in today. Very happy but still very sick.
