It's going to be sweet knowing you've got a fresh motor under the hood. It's looking real good.

Did you use RTV to seal in the sensor's?

Thanks, it's getting there. Yea black rtv to hold the wires and around the knock sensors. It's messy but works good. Looking like I'll have the motor in thursday night and get it all ready. Going swap the New brake booster in and pull the brakes apart. Then I can cut the hubs for the slip over rotors. I figure Monday night I should be able to fire it up and let it run for the 1st oil change. I'll have more pics Thursday night....

Whatever your heart desires but not so tight the mount can't pivot. It's a locking nut so it shouldn't back off ever.

With leaving the headers, ac compressor and the accessory bracket still connected it wasn't fun. That parts done now tho and its connected to the trans. Motor mounts fit perfect, i snugged em up and positioned em like stock and they lined right up. Plenty to do tho... I hope to get more done within the next few days. Have to stop today and pick up a pair of gm gaskets, arp header bolts and antifreeze. That should be the last of all the parts.
