Todays's progress...

You guys are right (of course). Just when I was at my breaking point, my neighbor came over and helped me get the tranny mount bolts back in, we had to "wiggle" the engine around and get the car/engine jack at just the right angle. It was a pain, but just when we got that done another Pelican (David Alessandrini) and his son Cameron came over to help. It seems the hard oil lines on the new engine won't mate up with my oil cooler setup, so I took the old hard line and swapped it with the one on the new engine. Swapping required removing the heat exchanger on the driver's side and David used his finesse and fine mechanical skills to remove the nuts without breaking them. What a great guy! He brought his son Cameron, who seemed to enjoy the pool! David's car is beautiful and his paint job is the best I've ever seen and he did it himself. Here are a few pics...



David and his son, Cameron (great folks!)



David's car (great car!!)
