It's in!

     It's kinda weird to see the engine compartment with an engine in it.  Sorta nice after all these years.
     Progress was slow but steady as I jacked the engine up into its home.  I had to roll the car back and forth a few cm to clear various bits but nothing broke or got caught.  It's a tight fit between the transmission and prop shaft which took constant fiddling so that they didn't get caught up on each other.  Getting the dolly out took some help from a long 2x4 as a lever with a concrete block acting as the counterweight.  
     Now comes all the connections, a new (hope it works) pre-oiler, the intake and exhaust manifolds, and all the new wiring.
