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.
