WOO HOO! Can I get a badge, please?!?!?

Gotta show off the pics---

Here is the engine all prettied up:

Here it is sitting in the sub frame:

Here it is as the body is being lowered:

And here it is thru the doghouse:

(notice the 3rd pedal and sticky thingy?)

Gotta do a few more fixes, but it drove the 125 miles from my sister's place back home w/o any problems.

Whew. Never again.

Not only that... but it should automatically say your are "firing on 8 cylinders" now! LOL

Congrats on the V8 install!

Mine is ready to go in any time now... the last thing I have to do is tap an accy hole in one of my old style heads (passenger side)... and figure out how I'm going to hook the throttle cable to a carburetor. I think I'm going to change throttle cables. Also a little different from you, I'm using Hedmen shorty headers, and I'm loading in thru the front. The V6 came out very easily this way.

Other than that... mine is ready to go in! I'm not moving too fast with it though... too hot out! And I've got the AWD van as well. But there's a good chance it will go in by next weekend! This weekend should be the final prep... which isn't much.

So.... how about an update on yours! How's it been???
