John S's Journal

I decided today would be a good day to latch onto the engine and gearbox that has been sitting on a HF dolly since I finished replacing all gaskets, rear main seal, clutch, and getting a nice fresh paint job. Now that all of the engine bay work is done and several might as well jobs in addition to a front suspension rebuild, it was time to drop it in and get this GT on the home stretch.

I dropped in the beautifully rebuilt distributor while access was good and then managed to wrangle it all in and set it down on the motor mounts and the fixed crossmember. Got the motor mount bolts in but not cinched down. But it is finally back in and now all of the other stuff seems minor. Still plenty to do but seeing the engine back where it belongs gives me some impetus to finish the process.
