[DML] Vortec 4.3 engine swap update

["Duke Bladorn" <at88mph@xxxx>]

Well last night I installed the new transmission for the swap. Everything
went very smoothly and the job took about 1 hour. (15 minutes of that was
jacking the car up on all 4's; I put the car on wheel blocks) I ordered a
belhousing gasket from Rob Grady yesterday and this will be the next step.
Once the gasket gets here, I'll go ahead and put that on with the newly
fabricated belhousing. Hopefully, (if the weather is nice) next weekend I'll
be ready to put the engine in place to be measured for the mounts and tackle
the problem with the oil pan. I took pics and once I get them developed,
I'll post them on my site.


Thanks,


Duke
