David, More great picture tahnks.
?: What fuel pressure regulator? Are you using the mechanical pump as well? Can you give us a plumbing sketch? Bypass fuel pump? Do we need to run a return line? Thanks keep it comming. I am gaining ground fast. Also I had to do some swearing to get the trans tunnel off- I just trimmed around the brake lever- Is that right or did I take it off wrong? I assumed I did not need to remove brake lever.

David,
Any need to put a level on the engine after bolting it down to ensure it's level? Also, did you install your new hydralic throwout bearing "do wiki" on this car? What makes this design superior (for less headaches) than previous solutions? Thanks!

David,

I know you guys are pros ("...our installs take about 10 minutes."), but I have to ask why:

1. You wouldn't place any protective coverings/blankets over that beautiful bodywork? I realize at one point you mention a 1/4" clearance on the bottom of the pan.

2. The chains holding up the motor look like they would pound those polished valve covers. Do you folks at least wrap them up with shop towels?

BTW, your piece on swapping out the tranny input shaft was so thorough that it scared the @#$% out of me to the point that I would never attempt the R&R myself!
