And popped in a 1 inch grommet. I will find out later if this is big enough.

After reading Len Hoffman's analysis of engine case breathing, I decided to change from the "stock" set-up, with each head vented, to Len's recommended venting from the oil breather stack. These are the head vent plugs (and one of the vent hose fittings, already removed).

Even with the sheet metal and intake manifolds, I was able to install the vent plugs.

I took the near-final opportunity to tame the new EFI cables. In a new places, I can use bolt-on clamps.

I also got stick-on anchors. Not sure how these will hold up to heat.

I also grouped some of the cables into plastic sheaths. Not such a mess now.

OK, time for engine and transaxle assembly. Here are the flywheel location pins I was missing.

I used a plastic-face hammer to tap (pound) these in.

Here we go. I have not done this in at least 10 years.

So, this photo is about 2 hours later. It took about 5 attempts. After 3 tries to align the disk, and insert the trans shaft (with lots of changing angles of trans and engine), I resorted to another method. I loosened the clutch cover bolts enough so the disk could shift sideways. On the fourth attempt, I got the shaft in, then pulled the trans back and tightened the cover bolts. The fifth attempt then got it all together.

A few more things to do, and then I can get this beast into the car.

I'm way back at Panel replacement but i have two questions. As I look at the underside of the tunnel, is there anything I need to do before putting new floors on or is it all reachable later?
2. are you following a guide for whats going on next?

1. Access to the tunnel is very limited once new floor panels are on. Make sure all the cable tube brackets and braces are solid, especially for the clutch cable.

2. I am guided by various manuals, logic, and lots of others here on 914World.

More engine-trans prep. How about a Hi-Torque starter? Less weight, more power.

Bolted on. (And then I torqued all the engine-trans bolts and nuts.)
