OK, back to the project:
Front end reassembled, composite intake manifold on.
Fully assembled. Hard to imagine all the stuff under that plastic cover.
Without a lift, here is how to do a drop out engine. Hook the engine hoist to the front frame rails,
And set the car down on the engine cradle.
Tight, but it should fit, as it did come out of there!
And keep lowering/checking until the unibody is settled on the 6 subframe mounting points. Now all that remains is hooking up the exhaust, steering coupling, wiring and vacuum lines, fuel and water systems, brakes and bleed, wheels and turn the key.

I love to see 308's as track cars! The Gulf color car is soooo cool. Thanks for the pictures.
Patience grasshopper, current pics are poor, need that truck to show up...

I forgot about your "shopping" trip. Did you find what you were looking for or are you still on the hunt?
Found what I was looking for. Anxiously awaiting a certain transporter.

How's progress on the rebuild?
Hey Mark,
Slow due to my trip and catching up on a few things. I did get both heads torqued down and all cam timing set and chains on, plus front cover, balancer and some water passage stuff not shown here. Plan to have it back in the car this weekend if all goes well.

That was a fantastic car, sounded so good and he was flying, I gave my Mazda rental car ALL she had, and we caught up in traffic for the shot.
No Veyron Pics, I thought we had one, but it was just putting thru the shopping district at 5 MPH with the wing all the way up!

Does look good. Funny about the jug of milk, better get that out of the sun before it spoils.

Ha! You're killing me...
You're actually the perfect size for one, unless you have a 14 shoe or something!
