I really owe Jimmy a thank you for motivating me to install the motor and transmission this week. He called me up out of the blue, and said "I'll be over Wednesday with the hoist." So I pulled everything out of the garage and started to assemble the powertrain in the driveway.
It took a bit of persuasion to get the new motor, clutch and transmission to slide into the Vette, but we managed it. If you ever tried to stretch a hoist over the long nose of a mid-year Stingray with very fresh paint, then you know what I mean!
We had a few bolts we needed to clean, replace or modify with the clutch and bell housing...but nothing too serious. I will however, need a larger u-joint for the driveshaft.
