Oh man, those guys would stuff you full of BBQ and have your Pig running in no time at all!
Instead of a Pig Party, maybe a wrenching party?

Did we ever figure out the source of the shavings?

Not yet. I am waiting until I take it out as it would be easier. The rear main may be the issue and cant get that cap off that w/o pulling the motor so it seemed like a good idea to wait unitl I had the other engine and picker in hand before moving fwd. hoping in the next few weeks I'll have it. I might clean and paint the engine bay while I have access. As we know, one project almost always leads to 1-5 others

Step one, get er home. Might put a new pan gasket on and clean up a but but the water pump and clutch assembly are pretty new.
Almost plug/play...

And for goodness sake, take off the radiator support and grille before inserting engine.
Also there's no reason you should struggle with that hood blocking your light.And for goodness sake, take off the radiator support and grille before inserting engine.
Id set it aside as well

I am sure I'll have plenty of questions once I start. Once I have everything removed and ready to install, I am thinking removing the driveshaft and have a trans support so that lining up the splne will be less frustrating than it has to be. There are usually tricks to do this, just haven't read up on doing this w/ a 55.

I feel the same but sometimes unfirtunately s*** happens. I wasn't planning on diving in to this lvl of repairs but on a positive note
this transaction sorta worked out and I am not in a hurry to get ready for the next concours d'elegance so, once again on the semi slow roll.
Seems everyone wants to help as soon as I say I am dropping in an engine, and as we know its a 2 man job....
