ADSA77 Al Some things where missed, First cover and Tape the front end of the car. I use paper and then Heavy moving blanets on top of them. I leave the bellhousing off for room. It's is easier from the side IF your cherrypickers front wheels pivot. I don't have the trans hooked up. Get a friend to help you the first couple of times. Make sure you get a FEEL on controlling the cherrypicker for going down.
Hooking up sensors before you drop in the motor, like the
oil pan temp sensor is easier with the motor hanging than in the car. I have a short cherry picker and when hanging the motor out to the end, have you bigger buddy stand on the back of the picker for ballast. I have seen the old, flip the works happen, and alot of damage from everything flipping. Jim H. covered the job. Take your TIME. If in doubt call ERA or get someone here on the ERA forum. Watch the brake lines. I throw a little level on the intake manifold to check the side to side level of the motor. I go with 1.5 degrees low on the L/S. This is for torque twist. Leave the carb and coolant tank off the motor till installed. Good luck. Ps Bolting the bellhousing to the motor, I use Allen head Bolts with washers that have a 1/4 moon in them for getting them flat on the bellhousing surface. Rick Lake
