That is very exciting, congratulations! When I put mine in all I kept thinking about was the lift dropping and smashing the engine into my beautiful aluminum body. I didn't remove the radiator, so it was truly like threading a needle. I hope to post my first start video this week!!!

The three biggest milestones in my opinion are engine in, first start, first drive. First start is probably the most harrowing. That one is next!!!

Has your engine been started at all (dyno)? That has to be more exciting for sure Since ours has run on the dyno before I know it works, but will my hook ups work? That is questionable haha.

AGAIN,.....simply amazing build ! (sorry I didn't call you back. You have a pm)

Simple question- what brand is the heat/sound mat ?
I've always wanted to use some, but don't know who's is best ?
Does your help both or just heat ?

Here are some actions pics. I thought he took more.... anyways, I'm in the John Deere hat
I'm not sure why my buddy in the engine bay was making all these faces or why he was hugging the tranny because I had the angle pretty correct at that time.. Maybe he just likes hugging trannies
