Porsche 356 Build: Part 5
Continued From: Part 4
Serious Progress!
An in process shot of installing some more heat shielding. This was applied all the way across, then the loose strands trimmed.
And everything out of the way, ready for the engine.
We got the throttle bodies installed:
And some more done on the interior.
The engine is now officially in!
Last weekend, we pulled the engine off the engine stand and set it onto some wood blocks, the idea being that we'd slide the floor jack under and wheel it away.
The jack was too wide, so we had to lift it once again, but no biggie, its pretty light. After it was on the jack, I guided it in as my dad lowered the car over it. I think it would have been quicker to go old-school and just use jack stands.
And voila, its in!
I connected up the sensors, injectors, and modified the wire harness in a couple spots as well. no photos of that yet.
