VERY impressive, pulling it with the engine in the truck (or, most of it anyway)!

As a few have said, you can do it with the motor in by getting the condenser to be in position (up and tilted forward)

Lots of progress this weekend so far. New Radiator is in and the heads are on and torqued. Question, I have seen ARP instructions on line say 100 lb ft final torque and 70 lb ft final torque. I went with 70. Only problem is one of the bolts in the kit was a 14mm 12 point and is snapped at 70 lb ft. When the new bolt comes do I just torque it straight to the 70 or sequence it?

I followed the method in Rave and used a paint marker on the bolt heads to determine how far they were turned the second time.

Ok, I may or may not have snapped the dipstick tube right above the notch or ring in the tube. I just checked Ebay. I see one but I only need the tube. Any other options other than Ebay?

You 'may or may not' want to give Paul Grant or Abran a shout.

Lots buttoned up this weekend. Major delay was getting out the broken dipstick tube. Exhaust manifold bolts did not have the spacers so I did not add them.

Did the new/mint-condition/collectors-edition/cutting-edge-technology/glimmering-in-the-sunlight/used oil tube show up Saturday?
