Default Just picked up my engine! :)

I'm feeling like a kid in the candy store! Just picked up my engine from the machine shop. Can't wait to get it back in the car. Weather is just a bit colder than I like to be laying under a car on concrete floor this weekend, plus, its Valentine weekend and I would be in the dog house for a while if I decided to sneak off to the garage! Good thing the garage is 80 miles away!

You will do just fine. It is a mind thing, especially when you are use to taking them out the top. My most frustrating part was getting the cherry picker legs in a position to not interfer with the engine cradle sitting on the furniture dolly. I found it easier to disconnect all of the wiring harness from the engine and leave it with the car. Some take the harness out with the motor. Make sure you use a tie down strap between the two front coil springs before you lower the engine or you can put alot of strain on the brake lines. When they come loose, they don't let anything get in the way!
