Rolled ERE#5 out to my concrete pad and take a few more photos.

I always install the passenger side headers prior to installing the
motor. That ATI flexplate is the best on earth.

Be very careful to not scratch or mar anything. The motor is on the
mounts without giving me too much grief. After loading in a fresh
PCM tune from Bryan Herter I'll turn the key and start it up.

Lots of chrome.

I also verify that the motor mounts are on the correct side of the
engine. Too many times I've had them installed incorrectly and
wasted lots of time.

Yea I have a very disorganized engine bay, but I can pull and engine
in 2 hours and install one in 4. One day I plan to tidy up the
wiring. I started up the motor shortly after installing the
water pump and radiator. A few bugs: DTC #43, (knock sensor
circuit) and a leaking chrome water pump. The engine runs very
well besides that. Will troubleshoot and fix leaks tomorrow
and then get some street miles on the motor.
