Well, I've been working hard to get the car ready for the engine install. I think everything is ready to go. I have tried to think of everything to do in the engine compartment before the engine goes in. Here is the last shot you will see with out something in this hole! 
I remembered to put the headers in the engine bay the first time! Don't ask.
Here is the new 482 pond engine with a Richmond road race 5 speed. It doesn't really look like it will fit!

I don't have to ask, I fondly remember our install on my BDR a few months ago and I even have it on film  .
Please tell me you fit the headers to the engine block before dropping in the engine bay.
In any case, the engine looks awesome and congrats on a first class build!!

Back to our regularly scheduled program..........
Here is a picture of the engine in the bay. It is real tight but fits nicely if you know what I mean. It will look a lot better when the rest of the engine parts are added.
The engine isn't all the way down on the drivers side. I drilled the motor mount and put a bolt through it to control the torque movement of the engine but the bolt is hitting the frame. I will change it tommorrow. I guess we go to plan "B"

What a stunning build Dean, absolutely beautiful!
Can't wait to see it finished mate.
It's clear to see why the Hurricane was your kit of choice.
Cheers.
Steve.

an Update
I stopped by Dean's Sunday evening for a quick inspection. Unfortunately, I only took pictures of the things that I needed for my build/information.
I've attached a picture of the front of the engine compartment. The Weber's are really impressive.
This car is really amazing. I am anxious to see it on a track
