I can only deduce from the above statement that you have a desire to have your car running by tomorrow evening.

Good on ya mate!

Yes sir. Plus installing that feed line and making sure everything is clocked right will be much easier with the engine out of the car and on the stand.

It's on a table/wire rack supported by ply wood, jack stands, and an engine hoist.

That could be interesting... but then we'd have even more **** talking if it didn't get done. Though I guess that would still be mostly directed at 9k.

I'm willing to lend a hand, but not willing to lose a finger... if someone else could take that role, I'd really appreciate it!

Makes my epic quest for a Canadian proven brand of premix seem pale in comparison. Some video of 9ks journey sounds good for sure.

I'll try to take pics and upload them with my phone as we make progress. I'm pretty bad at remembering to take pics, even when I'm not doing something and I'm sure someone will probably get some higher quality pics.

That's not very nice! He was going to do a completely unplanned impromptu engine and transmission swap in a couple weeks. With him, we could have 9k's engine in the car, running and fully tuned in a couple hours.

I was going to post that we can do a live feed from my laptop, but that would take too much work.
