Great photos and write up so far Warren thanks. I have a motorcycle jack too but I’m planning on using a lower profile appliance dolly under both the trans and motor. Sits quite a bit lower. If you’re short on room I’d try that rather than install the intake later as to me there is inherent risk with that or at least it’s a hell of a lot easier on a stand to drop the intake in place and make the many associated connections?

Keep up the momentum! It’s inspiring me for sure. I’m rebuilding my alternator at the moment which is proving to be somewhat regrettable?
