I'll be there at 9am on Saturday morning. This should hopefully be a fairly routine engine swap, so I'd like to go a bit slower and keep everything organized as we take it off of the car. Normally I go the zip lock bag with sharpie notes route, and I plan to do that this time as well.

It doesn't live yet. But, all we have to do is swap an engine Saturday. How hard could it be?

Okay, NOW it lives!
Thanks to Mike, Steve, Carl, and of course, Ben for coming help with the engine swap. Started around 9:30. Had the new engine in and running by 3pm. We're getting disturbingly good at this!
The new engine is running just dandy, no oil leaks, no smoke. Need to tweak the timing a bit, but it's ready to rock.
Closing the book on this thread. Mission accomplished!
