[Dangerous Doug]

FIA-ERA: I put the motor, clutch assembly and bellhousing together, and then installed the assembly in the car. Tried to do it with the transmission on, but couldn't manipulate it in. I came in from the side, as the boom on the cherry picker I had wasn't long enough. (Once you hoist your engine, measure from the motor mount studs to the jack on the picker, then compare that to the holes for the motor mounts and the front of the car).

I used an engine load leveler ($40) and a large ratchet to level the engine. For speed, use an air ratchet on the ELL. Uh, don't use an air impact driver, you may do something stupid and break a bolt loose---of course, you might be lucky and the engine may be within a quarter inch of the motor mounts (uh, like me...). Better just to use an air ratchet.

Bob @ ERA: Checked my box. No alternator bracket. Sent you a PM.

Dash is back in, 80% wired. Column goes back in tonight... More wiring... Cooling system is done... Gotta make a short list...
