Sweet!
How much red loc-tite did you use on that Hey-zeus bolt?
I tired to find an image of a brat being dunked in some Secret Stadium Sauce but I had to close that tab.. Almost shorted out my keyboard...

Thanks guys! Yeah I used a good amount on that crank bolt sucker. Hopefully won't be a problem.
-
Cut new grooves into the new injectors and got them on the rail.
Remember kids, dont throw off the emperors groove ...

Got the oil filter housing installed & clocked to clear the manifold, fuel rail and injectors installed, oil distribution block put on and the turbo oil feed line ran. Started fitting the turbo oil drain line too. Just have to cut the braided line to length and attach the other fitting.

Just a couple more things to bolt on and hopefully the engine/trans will be in its new home this weekend.

Things didnt go as quick and smooth as I wished. Looks like tomorrow will hopefully be the day the engine/trans goes in. Crossing fingers!
-
The engine has landed!!!

Looks really good!

Thanks for making my to-do list. I'm adding make a center support bearing mount
-
That may work. Otherwise cut old mounts off and reweld in new location is the route most seem to take.

I ended up welding a flat piece of metal across the tunnel, then put in some gussets, and then cut the center section out and drilled the bolt holes. It's a PITA to keep everything flat, planar and level when you're dealing with little 2 inch long pieces of metal. Otherwise bolting the brackets to a spare CSB or equivalent jig would probably help. Good luck. Don't burn yourself while welding over your head.
