So, I have some time on my hands these days... Yay, quarantine
Wondering if anyone has detailed photos of a 68 PI together on a stand just before install? I’d love to have an out-of-the-car reference, if possible.
Also, what is conventional wisdom when it comes to installing components on the engine and inn the engine bay before dropping the drivetrain back in? I’ve never reinstalled a BB motor/trans, only SB’s which have all the room. Can I sneak the drivetrain in with the brake booster and master preinstalled? Any other best practices I should know?
Any wisdom and imagery from your vaults would be greatly appreciated! I WILL get this car back together during this CA lockdown.
With the communities blessing, I’d like to exercise humility and operate with the motto that “there are no stupid questions”. I’ve feel like I’ve done my research and I have *most* of my ducks in a row. Admittedly, one major mistake I made was during disassembly - 2 or 3 years ago now - I went light on pictures. Foolishly, I expected the engine rebuild to be done in a matter of weeks (based on past experience with the builder) and that turned into a year and a half... so my memory is very, very faded.
So, I ask - would a single thread be the best way to ask all of my questions, would you rather I bombard you with individual posts, or keep my mouth shut and let my ego wing it?
