extremely low budget build here, I dont have an engine hoist. The engine I am using was the one pulled from my cougar and was stripped of all useable parts to build its current engine.  since I only had the hoist for the one day I decided to put the engine and tranny together and drop it in rather than having a car less engine and engine/tranny sitting on the ground that I couldnt do anything with.  at the time I didnt have the money to put the parts needed into the crank case so in it went and was to be dealt with at a later time. this is why I need to pull the pan to install the oil pump drive and pick up tube. :D
