Wow, very cool what can get done with beer, booze and food eh?? It doesnt hurt when its an extra cool car to be working on either eh??
Bloody marys....you ever have a Caesar?? Same but instead of tomato juice, you use Clamato juice(clam and tomato juice) Believe me it tastes better than it sounds! Awesome!

What the chances of getting dad to do up a step by step diagram of the lift?? And the engine install?? Im curious if it would work with my vert??

Great work and good times Chris, thanks for posting!

you know I have not tried one with clamato, but I have had bloody marys in San Francisco with shrimps and clams dropped in there pretty tasty, probably similar.

Dad built the lifter in spare time with scrap parts but i can take some close ups and measurements if you'd like. The yellow bars are much longer than needed, but dad had a design idea to make the lifter also be a tow bar. It is crazy how easy it was to install the motor this way. Most of my help was leaving so I didn't get as much bolted on there as I could have before installing, but there was plenty of room.

I snapped a stud for the headers trying to remove it in favor of the allen head stainless bolts to match the rest of the engine. So I may need to remove the headers which isn't that big of a deal at this stage.

I was nervous about the charcoal metallic against the orange pearl metallic, but I am happy with how the colors play off of each other.
