got the engine in; started at 1430, finished (for the night) at 2030. Dropped the engine in, bolted it up, bolted up the tq conv. dropped the trans pan (had to chisel through 2" of mud), adjusted bands, replaced filter. changed the cooler lines. Cut rotten driver's side floor out. flushed and painted the radiator. installed fan and pulleys, belt. Tried to fix my mini starter, but had to swap it back out.
Should have it running tomorrow......
