Engine install question
 

I am finally at the point of installing the engine/transmission into my '73E after repairing many rusted pieces. It is a motor out of a '74S and has been sitting for several years, some of wich was outside under a tarp (before I bought it). It did run correctly when it was removed from the donor car and I have put some MMO in the cylindars and periodically turned the engine over. Besides standard maintenance items (air/oil filters, check all fuel lines) is there anything I need to do to the motor before dropping it in?

Check you oil seals/gaskets, adjust the valves, replace all hoses, fuel and vacuum lines. Check the cIS on the '74 engine and be sure everything is well documented because it's hard to see/troubleshoot anything once the engine is back in and bolted up.

I am not sure what you mean by "check the CIS and make sure everything is documented" Do you mean make sure that everything moves properly and is not gummed up?

Thanks.

What I really mean is to make a diagram showing where all of the fuel/vacuum and electrical connections belong so you won't have to guess later on.

Thanks for the advice. I will post some pictures after I have some paint on things.
