[Roadsters] Installing U20 motor...

[Karl_lett]

Ken,
typically we bolt on the oil pan, starter, intake, exhaust and
transmission outside the vehicle.
There's just enough room to squeeze it all
in - and it's a TON easier than tring to tighetn those components once
installed.
 
best of luck,
karl

Ken,
All of the above, I think.  I can't remember whether I had the starter on 
the
car when I put the engine back into my '67-1/2 2000 a couple of years 
ago,
but I'm pretty sure I did.  The carbs, exhaust manifold and oil pan 
were all
definitely in place.
