All right levity aside here is the play by play. So I tried to entice worlds best neighbor into coming over to assist with engine install but his wife shot him down. Not really sure why? Perhaps it has something to do with every time he comes over the music gets louder and drinks get stronger, then he goes home and pukes. No wonder she loves me! So doing it solo sucked, I had to ensure wiring was not pinched everything was clearing over and over. Translated run hoist, lay under car, run hoist, lay under car, run hoist, climb ladder peer down into engine bay, run hoist, you get the idea. 4 hours later, two tranny jacks, one porta power and an extra floor jack. Plus some sawz all and torch work, she is in. The alternator just would not clear. And I had predrilled a 2.5 inch hole in the fire wall for the Holley EFI wiring harness, make no mistake you need every bit of 2.5 inches. Standing in front of car the hole is drilled at 11 o clock just above the heads. Location was perfect. Do not deviate or you are screwed. I say this for my buddy in Carolina who is literally doing same thing with a 6.1 I thought I could wait him out and learn from his mistakes but no such luck. I plunged, making me the guineass Piguss. Latin for fool! He now benefits from my suffering. Enjoy the pictures, they are two years in the making.
