It's been a long road but finally moving forward now.
Last weekend I found out I needed to make some room for the oil pan with the new solid motor mounts.
So I broke out the grinder with a cutoff wheel and got to work!
Not the prettiest , but it's together!
Engine must have went in/out 25 times!
Tomorrow night's job it to put the flexplate , trans , crossmember and driveshaft in. Saturday will hopefully be re installing the engine accessories.
Here's a "few" pics.

Felt like throwing the headers on lol!
