Well I am finally ready to install the drivetrain in my TC, but nobody wanted to come out and play.
I probably lost 10lbs today assembling everything. Now here it sits all sad and lonely waiting to be reunited with the copuppies in the background.

I put all the good stuff:
Chuck W Motor Mounts
Accufab UDP Pulley
Esslinger Cam Gear
rebuilt T3
Braided Oil Feed and returns
Godfrey Thermostat Housing
Lookin good,wheres the other half!!
The other half ?
Well I could interpret that 2 ways,
1) She was inside telling me to come on cause its too hot, or
2) Its the Aluminium looking thing on the side of the block ( with this I only need half) :)
I think he means the transmission, or the actual car. Looking good, now get it in!
yeh I ment the other 4 cylinders.
4 other cyls why would he need that? Thats just extra dead weight!
I wanted to put it in today but no one wanted to come out, they said its toooo hot. I need a helper I dont have the best cherry picker in the world.
If you only lived closer, I'd help. It'd be a bit of a drive for me :(
That engine looks too good to put into a car :D Mind If I put it in my livingroom for a display????? Oh......wait........I want to have a place to sleep at night :D
So I was able to get the Drivetrain in today ! Yay
Now I have to hook it all up. Its been 2 years I not sure I remember where everything goes.

Very nice work. I hope I can rebuild my 2.3 and make it look like that.
I was on vacation or I would have stopped in. We are only about 35mins apart. Give me a shout next time you need a hand.

Thanks Jim, I appreciate that. I will keep that in mind. Still have a little left to do yet, but I am determined to get it running this weekend as long as my front mount IC shows up tommorrow.
