well FINALY got a break in the weather to get the engine back in the car !!

it snowed Friday night and Saturday morning, but was a grass snow, all the roads and driveways were just wet. about an inch of snow on the lawn and rooftops. so Saturday afternoon prepped the car and engine to go back in. my garage is NOT deep enough to load it in the garage, so have to roll the car out of the garage back to the cowl, then roll engine in front and drop it in.

engine connected to load leveler on engine lift

front of car prepped for entry

Took some time and made sure everything was lined up, then secured the driveline to the frame, as well as the u-joint housing to the transmission. also bolted up the brake cross shafts to the transmission as well.

put on the oil line clip on the drivers side, holds the oil pressure line from the oil distribution valve to the oil pressure gauge in the dash.

this is a repro i made a few years go from an original one. works great

next up was the fuel pump... 

figured get this in, then i can finish the line from the fuel tank to the pump. this way there is nothing in the way. i marked off where the starter sits so that i can go around it.

spent the day finishing up the fuel line

had to do the 2 bends from the line to the fuel pump, used my old copper line to make the bends and lay out a guide for bending the steel !!

once that was finished, went back and secured it in place with the clips down the passenger side.

the main fuel line to fuel pump is complete & secure.

next up was the fuel line from the fuel pump to the carburetor

did a rough install of the exhaust manifold with the carburetor attached to know exactly where the line had to go. 

used the old copper line as a guide to bend the new steel line.
