Martin, the underhood of these old cars wasn't paint perfect to start with so I bet your firewall will look just fine. I bet you didn't hear any complaints from the crowd around it at the shop so you can imagine once the engine is sitting in there.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda,.............damn.................... its in, but man it was tight, shoulda left the bellhousing off, shoulda left the distributor out, probably shoulda left the headers off.............................three guys, two jacks, motor hoist chains moved to two different positions.......................now all I have to do is make it run......

Beautiful Martin!!!! Hard work has paid off big time. It's all down hill to finish up now. If tomorrow goes good, you'll be driving it to work Monday morning. Even a Monday wouldn't suck if you could start it that way.
