Finally got the engine installed. I'm very close to done. It had taken about 10 minutes total to get it lifted in and sat on the engine beds. That includes putting the outriggers down on the truck. I got my wife to take the pics as I was a bit busy. All the work of getting the engine beds aligned earlier last year paid off. I had it aligned to .005" in about 15 minutes. Bolted down and prop shaft and prop fitted in about an hour. Can hardly believe it went so well. Scary.
Then I cleaned up the connections and aligned and bolted it up.
Cover everything in Lanolin so I can unbolt it later. DO NOT put it on the shaft were the flange goes on. Don't want it coming off.
