Well the new 3.2 lump is fitted. By lump, I mean literally just the block, heads, cams and cam covers. The only other item I've fitted is the starter motor, and nearside exhaust manifold, because they are more tricky in situ. I would have done the drivers manifold too but ran out of studs.
All of the other ancillaries and electrics need fitting, at the moment there isn't even an engine loom
In an ideal world I'd have stripped / cleaned the 3.2 and replaced all the seals prior to dropping it in, but that would take some time, I'm using a borrowed crane and I also didn't want to keep it under a tarpaulin that long (the garage is blocked by the car) so I will have to do any other bits in situ.
It wasn't a bad job to do really working alone.
Only slightly fiddly bit was getting it aligned with the mounts in the car.
Next job, nick the AR35 off my breaker, fit that, and then start bolting all the bits back on!
