Hey Rick,
I won't rush to put the engine in. I have some things to do before I install the engine, and I'm going to take my sweet old time. I have gone so far very carefully, why hurry now? The detailing, and special touches make it all better.
I need to flush out the heater core, and I plan to do that with a hose, while covering up the bell housing. I need to decide where I want to route the tubing for my oil pressure gauge and drill the hole. That's something I would like to do before installing the engine. I also want to reinstall the cross member, the midlink, and the splash plate before installing the engine. I bought the engine hoist so that I didn't need to rush. I also have a lot of unique photo ops while the engine is out. I have taken over 2000 photos of this LUV project since September, and a lot of appreciation has been expressed. Why should I hurry and later wish I'd taken this photo or that one?
Frankly, I'm puzzled by the comments you're making about my physique, and I wish you'd cut the comedy out or put it in another thread. My person is not your property and not your right to post disparaging remarks about. I may not be as young or as pretty, or as smart as you are, but I can get a few things done. Whether I do it to your liking or not is irrelevant. I got some major parts from you and I would like to think well of you, not have to remember you as a discouragement.
It's not going anywhere/A lot easier to install the oil pan with the engine turned over in an engine stand!!!
