Yes it is but that’s only 20-30 mins runtime and the show is rapidly approaching. I don’t want to find out something is amiss 250 miles from home

Picking up my engine this weekend. Won’t have enough help to get it in until the 4th but I think I can get it running that day. Also ordered Procar lowback buckets to replace that bench because it is not exactly ideal. Hope to be at the run to the sun in Myrtle Beach on the 16th

Excited for you! FWIW, I installed the engine and trans as a combo in my Firebird, alone, numerous times. A load leveler will make it easy.

I am not physically able to do it by myself. I do all the hooking up and all but I need help to get it in.

Those are really nice That was a good choice. At a glance they look like originals until you notice the details.

All the interior shops are backed up around here plus I’m broke so upholstery will be a while. If I get the engine installed the 4th I will shake it down flrv12 days then head to the run in the sun in Myrtle beach. Show it as under construction
