Engine is somewhat Ready to go back in. I hope to have it installed tonight, running by tomorrow night.

Crank Pulley was a nightmare. 2 different installer kits and neither worked. Autozone ended up having the "Long Reach Harmonic Balancer Install kit" that worked. Though I had to come up with a spacer to be able to reach the nut for tightening it. Almost slid on by hand turning the nut, which I think means I didn't mess up the woodruff key.



I went ahead and marked each bolt after checking each torque, also to make sure they don't move:



Clutch installed. Bolts I have weren't exactly the same as before. Seems the Thread pitch and length are the same, but the width of the head is not. I don't think it will cause an issue, and the clutch was balanced using these bolts. I can change them out in the car need be.



Trans is on, just need front accessories
