healey nut... interesting way to do it. seems like less stress on the studs that way.
i have a leveler. just was not sure where to run the chain. didn't want to bend a stud with changing the angle and all.
thanks. i believe i may try the studs that hold the valve cover. i think i have two extra if they were to bend.
with as tight as it looks to be, i even wondered if it mught be better to put the tran in first and then the engine. then join them up after they are both in. this way you might be able to just drop the engine pretty much straight down in to the car.
another option was to put the tran and engine together. lift it up with the hoist and change the angle. but since the car is on the lift, maybe raise the car up to the engine. allows me to get under the car and i think i can control the speed of the car going up easier than using the lift to drop the engine down. those things can drop quickly if you are not really careful.
hmmm,
