Oooohhh what a rewarding day. I transferred the engine to the hydraulic lift and started to install it on the firewall. The total time to hang the engine by myself was 45 minutes. That gets you 4 mounts, bolts and nuts installed in the Dynafocal mount. Much more work after that, but it was so much easier than I expected. Put the upper mounts loosely in place and started by bolting the upper mount behind cylinder 4. Then went for upper mount behind cylinder 3. Tightened those fairly snug and then installed lower mount behind cylinder 4. Tightened that snug too. Last one was lower mount behind cylinder 3. I was so expecting big trouble but there was none. I mean none. Yes, I had to wiggle the engine, lift a little here and there, but the mounts are flexible and they align nicely. More to follow.
Had to remove oil filter and fuel line from pump. Tight fit with governor line, mags, and fuel pump.
Did this one first. Went straight in.
Did this one next. Also went almost straight in. Manhandled engine just a little to align.
