I found that the notches in the plug wire brackets were too small, and pinching the wires. So I pulled off the plastic dip coating, and then filed the holes larger. I was able to slid the coating back on.

I stacked the plug wire brackets with a pair of hose clamps for the fuel lines on both sides .

For now, the fuel lines and plug wires are done.

Here's my SS muffler from Ben Macfarland. I need to install a SS bung for the O2 sensor. The muffler might not be ideal, since it is a bit downstream from the combustion chambers, but it is the first location where the exhaust from all 4 cylinders will mix.

I chose a location as far towards the center as possible, but not in the way of the muffler bracket.

Then I got out a 1 inch hole saw, and mounted the muffler on the press.

I then started the transfer of the engine from the stand onto jack stands. This turned out to be a logic puzzle as well as mechanical process.

First, I got out the engine support bar, from the almost depleted stock of powder-coated parts.

Here's part one of my two step process. Given the jacks and other stuff I have, I had to first take the weight off the stand, and then lower the engine as much as possible, i.e. about half-way. I made some scaffolding, and put my Fuchs wheels to work (purists look away).

After removing the stand, I lowered the engine so the support bar and the stand pivot rested on jack stands. I then pulled out my "scaffolding" and repositioned the jack now on the floor.

With the weight on the jack again, I added an angle iron piece to support the back of the engine.

I will leave the jack in place as backup, until the trans is attached and supported.

Last task today: unbolt the engine stand mount from the case. Ready for a clutch!

If you have an engine hoist is there a safe place to bolt a chain?

Now starting to think about where to put the control box and the relay box. The trunk is the obvious place, away from wet conditions.


Looking at the possibility of having to remove any connections i think the first picture makes more sense in mounting the control box...... But after looking at the pictures again I see that the ports are blocked either way....Maybe mount both on the upper part of the wall so they arent blocked by the jack or the inner fender.....

I have one (in pieces, stashed under my big work bench). But I thought by the time I could rig up a safe attachment method and assemble the hoist, I could get the job done with my motorcycle lift.

I am still pondering the best location. I should need to connect to the serial port during set up and tuning, so the jack would not be in the way most of the time.

Everything (almost) I need to get the trans ready and mounted to the engine.
