If I could get my younger son who drives (correct that 'drove') the 83 to get so involved, I would be complete. My older son is all *** and elbows when something needs done on his car and we get it done. Keep that young man working, I wish my Dad had done this when I was young...he did teach me woodworking though and for that I'm thankful!

Michelle,
I am in Chicago for the summer (I used to live in St. Charles). If you need any help with the car please let me know. I've bolted in a 951 engine or two. I would be more then happy to swing by and help wrench on a weekend. The project looks very good! Keep up the good work.

Wow! Thanx for the offer! I could definitely use help as the failing memory has to kick in to remember what goes where
However, the car is not in St. Charles. I live about 90 miles SW of Chi-town. Still interested? If so, how's this weekend?

Ah a very clean motor drop! I looked at the Haynes manual on how they did it and just kinda sputtered and cursed over it. I feel more comfortable on a top end pull from a cherry picker than down on the bottom.
Let us know when that car's ready to be fired up!

It actually went right in and bolted up to the torque tube w/o a hitch I was very pleased. Got the crossmember back in and now need to bolt up the engine mounts. I have pics of the old vs new engine mounts. I'll post them when I get home.
The plan is to have her ready for the Fest!
