I really hope you are making some head way on that project Scott. I can't wait to see the final result.
Well, I've been working on it all day, and not making much progress for the time spent. I drilled and tapped those headers for my EGT probe. Then after bolting them to the motor, I went to install the motor mount and guess what... the EGT probe and the motor mount want to occupy the same spot.

So, I had to plug the hole in the headers and re-tap it on the other side of the manifold. But in the process I broke my EGT sender, so I had to order a new one.

I also finished some clean-up in the engine bay. Did a little painting. There's still a bunch of cleaning I need to do to the suspension to get the oil off everything, but I'm worn out and tired of smelling engine and brake cleaner.

And I was really hoping to have the motor back in the car today.
