It took just over one hour to install the engine and bolt up the engine/transmission mounts. Thankfully no aluminum damage was done! I think it looks right at home don't you?! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

We ended the night with some Dos Equis :beer:

P.S. Don't worry the washer bottle bracket will be painted Tudor Blue as soon as we find some paint.

Well David, if you can find a replacement handle it can be drilled out and replaced with new.Alternatively, a brass screw with the same thread as in the ball can be used.Over the screw fit a bit of brass tubing and solder it in place.Shape the head of the round head screw to emulate the old handle. Give it a good polish and you will be good to go.---Fwiw---Keoke

Well Keoke, if the engine were rebuilt proper (to original specs), the oil leaks will protect the unpainted parts. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yesnod.gif

HEY Keoke /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif ya know how 6AM morning fog raises up off the meadow 10 or 15 feet on a muggy humid day almost like a wall of moisture you can't even see through? Hmmm do ya /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif Well THAT'S what I think goes on under the bonnet of a freshly rebuilt to-specs Big Healey and that oily stuff covers Everything /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif which is why I think he'll be just fine with his unpainted head bolts there /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazyeyes.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazyeyes.gif

davdk, nice job! two comments if i may, 1 -replace the old fan with a 6 bladed s.s. model especialy if yours is an original me thinks ya gunna be doing it "down the road" anyway,and 2- you might have over done the heat shield material around the engine. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
