Engine is in and mounted.  Amazing how perfectly it fits, A/C pump and all.  I had to rework the exhaust manifold welded patch to fit the A/C pump, the way JakeB send it it interferes.

 

Tranny is secured with new mount.  Shortened the shifter platform and the stick is perfect center.  Having the link cut this weekend.  Ordered new drive shaft center support/bearing. 

 

Stuff under car should be ready next week so I can tackle radiator, connecting hoses, fuel lines, electrical etc.

on a 200k engine, replace the chain guides.   If they fail, the thing munches itself...  the hard rubber delaminates from the aluminum guides, and get sucked through the chain.   t

I wish I had seen this earlier.  For what it is worth, did the same repair to the SAME brakeline about a year ago.  No leaks.  AND I had to replace the male adapter.  Got all of it at O'Reilly.  Fit l
