Engine install went smooth tonight. Got all the major bolts in place and tightened (ie, 6 engine to trans, 3 torque converter bolts, 2 motor mount bolts, and 12 header bolts). I layed the headers in the engine bay just prior to lowering the engine and connected them 1 bolt at a time while lowering .....easy. I'm pleased with how well these Hooker headers fit. Plenty of clearance everywhere, and they don't hang down very low. There's lots of details left, I hope to have it started in the next day or two.
