Jeep update - Sunday 4/28/2013, THE ENGINE STRIKES BACK!

Step 1. Start with a "clean" Jeep to work on.

Step 2. Hook up the transmission and get it ready to lift.

Step 3. Lift.  We had to jockey around moving the A Frame and get some other crap out of the way, but we are almost there.

Step 4. BAM!!!! Two bolts on the transmission, two on each motor mount and BAM, your rebuilt engine has just be installed.  This feels like a major step, each weekend when we have worked on the Jeep things are moving forward, but getting to this point is a big deal for me.

Step 5. Next on the to do list... fan, lots of hoses, distributor, spark-plugs, wires, etc.

Last update from Saturday 4/27 on the Jeep... its a few hours of video compressed to about 1 minute and 40 seconds. Looks like we move at light speed and stand around most of the time. :)
