Alright, at this time, everything looks ready for the engine to go in. I have spray painted the motor mounts and bolted them on.
I also installed the AC delete idler pulley. I had to use Ford Racing part instead of the Factory Five supplied one.
The main reason was that I was missing the inserts that go into the engine block and are part of the AC compressor. Unfortunately, I did not know at the time of the donor tear down that I needed to pull those inserts out. Oh well, now I have a cool part. It looks much better than the Factory Five counter piece.
I think we are ready.
Up it goes
And down it goes
If you know what needs to be done between those picture you'd think that there's a transmission bolted up behind. Well, it was the plan but was not meant to be. As I was pulling parts off the self, I've noticed that the clutch was on its way out. It had some meat left but not enough to be installed. So this turned out to be a mock engine install. Summit Racing has my new clutch on the way.
