So my engine is done and tested and I should have it in hand in another 1-2 weeks. Next step is to install it. Earlier on this thread, cscobra mentioned that he dropped in the whole engine/bell/trans assembly with everything but that alternator and fuel pump. He did it from the front without a tilter, and he has a toploader. Not sure why the fuel pump would be in the way. I will try to drop in the engine/bell/trans, assembled, from the side with a tilter and two ton lift, and I have a TKO. I will also jack up the rear on larger jack stands to lessen the angle. If it doesn't work I'll pull the trans off and do the engine plus bell only. Additional thoughts and experience appreciated.
