Not yet. Just about finished stripping the paint.Definately do the brake lines first. That way, you can get in the engine bay and sit on the k member, and have room to work. You might wait on the harness if it all plugs in. Early A engine bays are tight, so you don't want to take a chance on smishing any of the wiring. Glad it's coming together....did you get the paint done?
I will be installing mine from the top. Transmission is in place. Installing from the bottom does seem like a better idea. But a small garage makes installation from the top a Little easier for me.When I installed the engine in CUDAVRT, I mounted the engine on the K-member, bolted on the clutch and transmission, then lowered the car over it. Fastest install I've ever done.
