The engine is installed!

No alt provided
alt text
A buddy from the local Triumph club (who's engine hoist i was also borrowing) came over in the middle of a hot day (though the least hot of the week) and we got the whole thing installed in about 90 minutes.

I'm working through making all the connections and adjustments needed for the first startup. This is detail work that i enjoy doing, but we're still in this stupid heat wave, and i'm anxious to get to the first startup and break-in.

It's funny how i over prepared some things (duh, of course this is a ground, wny did i have to label that?) and under-documented others (where the fuck do these radiator hoses go?).

Uh, to the radiator?

In all seriousness, this looks very nice! I know relatively little about cars, but - from jump-starting a few batteries - is the paint on the bolt for the ground wires going to add a problematic amount of resistance?

@davidl I'll show a pic of the finished setup once it's running, there are a few smaller hoses for the heater and other plumbing that aren't necessarily intuitive.

I'm cleaning up each electrical connection as i get to it, so that ground will be a solid connection before i'm done. I painted the engine bay while i had everything apart, so there's some thread cleanup to do in a few places.

Twin SUs - you poor bastard!

@MackReed Twin Strombergs on this one, SUs were standard on the earlier TRs. It’s not so bad ; when you have to tear one apart you have the other one for reference!
