My 2 cents

Why did you determine to use the stock and not lightened...

There is a rule with this site...you cant keep answers to yourself. There are others out here like myself that are in the same position as yourself and are asking the same questions.....

Anyway since other people are posting pics of there last engine pull, so will I....

I'm just wondering about where the balance point of these things is with the engine put back in? I'd hate to see it tip. Thanks for sharing your pictures"

To answer your question...atleast this is what I do. I treat it like a volkswagon motor and lower the car down on the motor, then raise the motor into the car the rest of the way. The car is NOT on jack stands so the car doesnt shift. But the front wheels are chocked so they dont move... WISH I HAD A LIFT!

After the Rally tomorrow, I am tearing mine apart again.
