Oh, cool.
Thanks.

I may need a hand putting it in. Sheila's dad had shoulder surgery, and is out of commission for quite a while.

Rent a transmission jack, or get the tranny jack that fits on your floor jack. Makes the job a LOT easier,and makes it where one person can do the job fairly easy.

Are you running 19lb injectors on your engine? You have the same engine I do (down to the cam) and I run 24lb injectors......

If it's all going in at once (The best way......that's how I did it),an adjustable engine lift is nice.Goes on the engine hoist,and by simply turning a crank,the engine tranny combo tilts to fit your needs as it's going in. I wish I was close so i could help.

You *should* be ok with 19s for awhile. I ran 19s for a year but switched to 24s because the 19s were getting close to 100% duty cycle at WOT.

This is going to get me running, so I can do what I need to finish the car and make it drivable and get it inspected. Then all the upgrades can come as they come.;)
