Prepping to install engine

Getting ready to put the engine in. Got a new battery, Costco by far has the best deal. $75 with a 3-year non-prorated warranty.

Today I made an engine lift bracket out of a piece of 2" angle-iron. I was pretty happy that I drilled two 7/16" holes exactly 9" apart and it fit perfectly.

I also made a new timing pointer and timing mark that are visible from the top. Pointer is made from a piece of clothes-hanger wire painted white.
