Excuses excuses! [emoji1787] Hey. What are you going to do with the old motor?

Nothing in the short term. Maybe tear it down in the future. No plan as of yet.

You’re going to have a hard to time engaging the converter into the trans properly installing it like that.

I took it off and installed it onto the trans first. Once I got the motor ready to set in I realized it wasn’t going to work.

I guess as long as you don’t need to pull the trans into the back off the engine with the bolts you should get away with it. If not you might need to turn the crank to get it too seat properly.

After putting the motor in and taking it out repeatedly I am finally making some progress. Mated the motor and trans and two of the flywheel bolts installed. Hopefully I won’t have to take it out anymore.

It’s in. And on its own weight.
I feel like I’ve completed the easy part. Hard part is hooking all the wires up.

Did you mark everything or take a lot of pics before you started?

Looking good. Sucks it's being a pain he dick though. Hopefully not to many more headaches along the way. Though it does looks daunting still

Uh no. Why would I make it easier on myself?
Hopefully I don’t jinx myself but the harnesses are only so long. Most plugs just line up due to length. It’s not super hard.
Most of the wires are hooked up now. Need to do a few more things tomorrow and I should be able to fire it. Then have to redo all wiring and install the switch pros.

Man, that all seems like a lot of work, but I imagine you have learned a ton. Way to go!

There is a note on the steering wheel. Oil and coolant. Lol

You don’t need those things if you’re just going to drive a few blocks.
