Will with a little scare with the engine hoist last night trying to wrestle the engine with the transmission hooked to back in I pulled it back out, set it on the ground and went home.
I hooked the engine to the forklift and got it in tonight. It is bolted into the frame and will hopefully spend the day tomorrow hooking everything up and here it run.
I was able to remove and install the engine and transmission as one unit with removing the sheet metal on the front. The only thing I removed was the radiator and the floor board. And of course the shifter from the transmission...
I also bought a cheap flatbed that needs some help. It will work for now until I can build a more period correct one to use. The bed that is currently installed is built from tongue and grove 2X6's and it is impossible to tie anything down to it.
Should have this running just in time for our 14" of snow and -14 high temps.
