Re: Project: Mavro Gato (56K ... Get a cup of coffee)

I installed my engine by myself with a only a hoist and a chain. No side to side action. I didn't have any problems with clearance on the fender wells and had the DMD installed prior to engine installation. I did have quite a time trying to get the rear motor mount lined up. I ended up removing the front header to give me enough room to move it around and it went in right away. I'd suggest leaving the front header off until it is in the car since it made it a lot easier for me. It only took about 15 minutes to get it back on without the radiator in the car.
