Engine install day!!
Everything went about as expected. I will still need to pulll the motor and trans again to finish welding the motor mount brackets to the frame. Also after looking over everything one more time, I think a new oil pan gasket and trans pan gasket would be a good idea when the motor is out.

Ran into a few problems though...Power steering pump and bracket will not fit. Thought about trying to make a new bracket, but I may look for a different ps pump and bracket. Maybe something from a car would be smaller? Mine is from a 68 1/2 ton truck. It's too wide, it hits the s10 steering box/rag joint.

Clearance trouble on the right side exhaust manifold. I'll either need the "swept back" style manifold for that side or go with the s10/V8 headers.

I did need to cut out for a tranny hump in the floor, but it will be small, 2-3 inches tall.

Ran out of time and didn't get the trans cross member done...
