Thanks fellas for the comments
Allen, Mustang is black.
Glen, Workspace is in the basement, built the house around it, it is nice, but that Mustang does get in the way.
TKB, Lowering the engine with the bell housing is very doable. It is a little tough if doing it alone, as I did. I did eventually remove the crank and water pump pulleys. I also removed the lower aluminum panel on the firewall. With the bell housing connected to the engine, you have lower the engine into the bay then slide it aft. If bell housing not connected, you can drop the engine straight down onto its mounts. I know what you mean about being reluctant to remove the bell housing. But there really is a lot of room back there to redial in the bell housing. However, if you have a helping hand, it should be fairly easy to lower with the bell housing. Are you using a cherry picker?
