Default Engine finally installed!

Let me tell you balancing building a new house and putting back together a race car at the same time, while keeping my family happy has been hectic. The house is processing, the wife and kids are happy (or at least not complaining too loudly and often) and the engine and transmission are re-installed. Did not have much help and had to fit things in when the time was right for me. Installed the engine by myself, took a little longer than what it would have with help. A bit of a pain being underneath the car on jack stands and maneuvering the engine so that the motor mounts lined up, but got it all done in a couple of hours. Had my brother in-law help me with the transmission. He helped hold the tail while I laid on my back underneath the car and bench pressed that top loader way more times than I would have liked before it finally lined up and went in. Just turned 60 and ws pretty proud of myself for being able to do that.

Getting everything back together now. Will be working on the interior today and performing some maintenance. First race is only a few weeks away.
