lie.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I used some chain around the exhaust manifold to pull the engine forward and then looped the chain around the exhaust and intake runners to life the engine up and maneuver it into place.\u00a0 To provide some support and to keep the motor from moving, I got the side engine mount into place:<\/p>\n<p><a

underneath and the engine hoist above, I felt more comfortable getting in there and starting to prepare the car for re-assembly.\u00a0 The Forge BOV is installed now, however, without applying all the much force, I was able to completely strip out the bolt hole, so I&#8217;m going to get that fixed before I get the transmission in place.\u00a0 I also need to remove the power steering unit from the K-member so that I can bolt the bobble re-lo bracket into place.\u00a0 I do not have a transmission mount that is salvagable, and it appears that the junkyard is only going to charge about 8 bucks after taxes, so I think I&#8217;ll go get one from the yard and then fill it at home.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bobble relocation brackets arrived and
