So I used a combination of a few things to lift this Monitor turret up off the ground and guide it into the engine bay that's sized exactly 3/16th of an inch too big to allow it to fit. A 1500lb electric hoist, my 4-Post lift, the help of another set of hands, and several onlookers waiting for the (snap!) [KLUNK] "DANG IT!!". But luckily that last thing never happened
I had to alter "Jigasaurus" to clear the air pipe on the drivers side, but I'm happy to report this thing worked flawlessly! Perfect angle... perfect clearance....and best of all.... easily removed after the engine is settled in.
It's getting closer! Shifter, clutch z-bar, and exhaust at the end of next week! Waiting on the fuel sender to come back, but I may use a temporary one just to get the car fired off.
Cheers
Dave
