Brent:

I dropped my 427 into my Kirkham a few weekends ago. I did it the way Turk describes, engine only. This allowed me to determine where the Lakewood housing had to be cut to clear the frame rail on the passenger side. With the engine in place I could take the bellhousing in and out. I took out the transmission tunnel as well as the two small aluminum pieces on the top of the footboxes to give me room to work. I actually dropped the engine in by myself, by using a hydraulic hoist and going slowly and very carefully. I am sure I will be taking the engine in and out a few more times in order to get everything to fit correctly. Hope this helps.

Paul
