The engine, a 350 SBC, is fully assembled and broken in on the bench. (yes i attached water to the inlets via garden hoses.....)(and, yes, i am partially deaf now.)
Now it needs to be installed. Obviously the front bar is attached and everything I can think of is attached. My plan is to balance the engine on my motorcylce jack, slide it underneath the car and start jacking. So to speak..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) If anyones installed a SBC what are some tricks to making this a little easier than the mess I'll probably make of it?

Thanks so much guys.
I'll take all of your advice and jack that puppy up, slide the motor/trans under her, lower it down on it so it's close to being level, and do some tiny jacking to get it bolted in. With the dist cap off. =-))))))) I can't believe it's really coming along. I'm so excited, and watching that vid of Peel doesn't help....
