The old engine is out!
After only a couple of grunts, and some wrench turning, I had the transmission out. Since the engine was mostly hooked up, 4 more bolts on the engine mounts, and it was loose. I forgot to unhook the heater cable, and the bottom coolant hose, but they came off pretty quickly.
I want to say that this car is the furthest along that it has ever been. Of course, the car is still not running...
CB and JT carried the old engine out of the car, and into the basement for me. Then they immediately turned around, and carried the new engine out to the car.
Turns out that the original motor mounts do not fit the engine. So I will need to fabricate up something to make it all fit together.
Dash needs to come out, so I can start working on fixing the rat's nest. Then the wiring harness for the new engine...
Lot's to do.
