engine looks good daty -- progress is made and your one more step closer!

with TTI's exhaust they recommend not using them with a new motor untill it is up and running tuned for the extra heat will discolor the tubes so I'll use the stock manifolds.

with my E body I had to cut my K frame to clear charlies oil pan too. I cut out the flange lip about an inch square on the front passenger side after I had it mounted.

already had the engine bay empty so no issue's of anything in the way.

using a cloth strap for my engine install wraped around the motor mounts balanced with a friend helping to keep it tilted back when lowering was a couple of hours long from start to finish bolted in.

had to hammer and bend my firewall/floor flange both sides around the hump for clearance of the bellhousing for my 5sp. so far my next step with the trans is to figure out how to install the oil flex hose.
