Just saying, you never know. Nice work!

Haven't thought of all of that. We're hoping we can get the engine in without removing the hood again by using one of those leveling block things....Can't remember what they are called, but allows you to adjust the angle as it goes in. Transmission will come in from underneath. We should clear OK I think as its just a small block with no drive accessories attached yet. At least I hope!
But great ideas if we do have to take the hood back off. Much appreciated.
As for paint touchup, I'm really hoping this is the last time. We'll be extra careful. We promise.
Hope I didn't just curse us.
