A True Low Dollar Backyard Build

Got all the front brake lines done the other day. Dropped the motor back in last evening. Only got as far as all of the bell housing bolts are in and tight. Might have to shim the right motor mount up a tad. The cheapy header looks like the flange is about just a hair of a fraction of an inch off the frame rail. Definitely gotta do something with all of the no longer needed wiring harness. Will probably just tie it back on itself out of the way. Still need to do the brake line to the rear, starter, left header, the underside bolts and start picking away at the accessories on the front of the motor. Between vacations, yard work and family time 1st, it'll still be a couple of months til fire in the hole..... But progress was made.
Do you know how hard it was NOT to gut the engine bay and make it all super pretty? Lol.
