empty engine bay, bolt motor and tranny together, set in hole and fab some mounts. It's almost that easy. I'm using block huggers. move e brake wheel as in hooker instuctions. Grind a little on heater hose mount. Buy the aluminum radiator and make it fit. Have a drive shaft made. Finish any loose ends, hoses, belts, wiring, exghust. I'm about 3/4 of the way through with the install on my 78'. The people here are a great help.
