Motor is in and mounted, however the engine mount bolt on the pass side isn't playing nice so we are taking a break.

Something went wrong with the pics... most of the pics I got were corrupted for some reason. I did get a couple clips of video that show how things generally went today. Here's the first for now:

I believe this install has had more trouble with bolts/studs and threads than any that I know of. Please handle the screwing carefully
