Engine is finally back in the truck!!
« on: June 04, 2007, 07:16:04 pm »
Yesterday me and Dr Frank finally dropped my freshly hand built big block back into the truck!! Woohooo!!! It was a fine day for it, unlike last weekend, I think I almost got sunburnt

Anyway, with the help of a large strap, forklift, and a large iron bar, the engine is finally back in the hole, and bolted up to the autobox.

It looked massive in the ship container when it was being built, it looks tiny now it's back in the ol' truck.



BTW, those are the old rocker covers on it of course, we took off the new shiney chrome ones in case of damage from the forklift straps.



It's ready to bolt on all the other new items, more soon!
