It's time!!! My authority on Engines arrived toinght, DC. This is his first install of this type but has done just about every other type of engine install from Cars and Trucks so is valuable knowledge is comforting. Tonight we instlaled the Engine mount as I have done before sot it wasn't much other than installing all 6 bolts torqing and installing the cotter pins. We were going to wait til morning for the engine but we couldn't leave our hands off this baby. We ended up lifting the crate (By hand) up onto the hoist base since the legs would not slide under it. This is one of those simple things you look at and say, how am I going to get that under the hoist without sliding it off the crate, then somone with common sense (Dick) says, "Lets just lift it on the Base) DUH!!. Ok I felt rally stupid at that point.
Mount installed
At this point we were figuring out wich way the engine would swing when it came up.
