The engine is in! It was stressful and exciting at the same time

I had three buddies come over to give me a hand last night. By the way, Resto, I have no idea how you did this by yourself... So we went slowly and took our time. It worked out pretty well. I wish I had a better leveler bar because mine was very hard to turn The engine moving part was quick, 15-20 mins, but putting the engine mounts bolts through the mounts took us over an hour.. not easy at all. The tranny mount gave me some headache too but it wasn't too bad.

Here are some pictures. My friend is sending me his "action" pictures from last night as I was a little busy to take pictures






I like this one. The stacks sticking out look cool.

Default Kirkhams in Australia

Thinking of bringing one of these 427"s into australia, would it be possible to get a car imported?

Maybe it's an Auburn thing?

Blue Thunder Comp covers. They are very nice indeed but they will be changed to Blue Thunder Cobra covers soon. We've been waiting on Blue Thunder to get a set because they had a foundry issue with their supplier.

You sure can. Talk to David at Kirkham and he will answer those questions. There might actually be something mentioned about that in their FAQ section. Here is their site Kirkham Motorsports
