Hoping to get the motor in tom morning, few things running around in my head. How much weight would you’d say is on the 1000lb rated engine stand now? I’d like to install the headers and everything I can now but don’t want to push the engine stand limits. When I install the headers should I use anything else besides the supplied gaskets? The headers/gaskets came from On3, no clue on quality. I think I’m going to stab the motor & tranny at the same time. That’s how I did it prob 5 times with my 2002 bcz I was running LT’s…btw LT’s on a 2002 GT will give you 2hp gain NA lol!! I’m thinking about setting the motor on an upside down rim and trying to bolt the tranny to the block that way, wondering if oil pan will get damaged..? I can put the motor in 1st then try to stab the tranny using a jack but imma one man show so I think it’d be easier to assemble outside the car. Fixing to remove radiator for more clearance. Oil pan tap came out nice but was a big pain overall. Tried to get fancy but ended up getting $40 worth of bungs that where to big, ended up using the one that came with On3 kit. Should I run a very thin layer of gasket sealant on the oil pan gasket or just use it like it is? Thanks everyone!!!
