Last night I worked late and got the gas tank, fuel line, fuel pump, and engine/tranny installed. I wanted to install the engine completely assembled. This requires a steep angle to clear the radiator posts. It all went pretty smooth except for the driver’s side motor mount. Tight clearance with the timing chain cover required that the lower nut be put on 1st. Also had to remove the alternator bracket to tighten the passenger side motor mount.
Last weekend I fully assembled the motor and tranny including setting the timing to about 10 degrees. Hopefully this will prevent a “reality show moment” of the distributor being installed 180 degrees out.
