300 very very heavy cubic inches are now back in the RL.
I am filthy, exhausted, and may not be able to walk tomorrow, but at least I can claim a victory here. I said I'd get the engine in by the start of September, it's the start of September, and the engine is in.
(Well, ish. It's sitting on a block of wood in front, in place of the front motor mount, because I appear to have misplaced the bolts for the rubber mount, and the nuts for the engine side. But it's in the truck.)
Theme song for the day:
Time to do some sketchy shit,
doo-dah, doo-dah
Time to do some sketchy shit,
And try not to die!
Also, I forgot how close the oil pan is to the front diff, ahahaha. I really must get the correct one at some point.
