[Mgs] Engine In!

[Dan DiBiase]

My 2 sons and I installed the engine into the '76 B today! Of course, we picked the hottest and most humid day yet in NJ.... Fortunately
we were in a nice shady garage, where it was probably only about 100 degrees....

Install went well, you can read the details in my blog (linked below). One issue I ran into was that with the engine crane set on the 1-ton
setting, the arm was just about 8 inches too short to just drop the engine right above the engine mounts. I was hitting the front bumper
with the hydraulic raising mechanism. So, we had to really push it back those 8 inches to get the bolts on the engine mounts. Having 2 
teenage boys comes in handy here!

Next up is to reconnect everything and see how many parts are left over! ;-)

Thanks to all for answering all of the q's I've had so far. There will be more....
