She's in!
We wedged her in today. When I say wedge, the headers are touching the passenger shock tower and the driver's side is touching the steering box. The back of the oil pan is about 3/16" from the cross member. I had 4 guys and myself (under the car) doing the job. It went pretty smooth with all the help. I was lucky they just happened to show up. I got the exhaust bolted up, the drive shaft in, the linkage for the top loader put back on. I will try to get her running in the next few days. I will post progress pics.

And of course, there's always one of these.

RE: She's in!
sounds really nice. I'd say it's trouble when the headers are hitting. My engine turns quite a bit when I hit the accelerator
Any ideas on what you're going to do? and what kinda engine did you wedge into your car?

RE: She's in!
Depending where the headers hit the shock tower, you can cut the shock tower out and recess it to give you more clearance for engine movement. I dunno what to say about the steering box.
How come you had the rearend jacked up to install the engine?
