but only temporarily. Aligned everything to tack weld the motor mount brackets, so now I'm letting it sit there to savor it for a bit, then it's time to unbolt the trans mount and yank it back out to weld the mounts in place, then repaint the engine bay - THEN it goes back in. :)
That being said, it's an "odd" engine to lift on a hoist, but it's fairly easy to manage since the radiator upper support was cut in order for it to fit. (there is about 2mm of clearance from the RB's CAS and that crossmember). I'll make a set of "plates" for the radiator support after I'm all finished. The two highest points on the engine are the top of the timing cover, and the turbo housing but still clear the hood without any other modification.
Anyway, RAWR!!! (Roar!!)
