The engine and transmission are finally re-mounted in the car and supported only by the engine (and transmission) mounts. I disconnected the engine hoist and pushed it out of the way on Wednesday night.
The chain took a hunk out of the coil, though, so I’ll need to put one of the spares on. There’s also something weird going on with the driver’s side CV — the joint closest to the transmission seems to have come apart, and I’m not sure what needs to be done to re-engage it, or if it’s just toast. I was able to get the 5/8″ tie rod boot from Dorman to fit on the ball joint, however, so I added some grease and put that on. The only way to do that, for the record, is to pull the knuckle off of the strut, attach the ball joint and the tie rod, slide the axle into the hub, and then re-attach the strut.
On order right now are new Booger Bushings, front rotors, spark plugs (NGK BKR7Es, standard on only a handful of odd-duck vehicles such as the Aston Martin DB7 Base from 1997-1998 or the 1995 Audi S6), and Accel plug wires.
