Thanks Ron, now to get the rest of the car done! Hoping to finish the body this Sping 09.

Think I have some clearance issues with the air cleaner, as well it was ugly trying to put the engine in w/ the headers, will try a put the headers in next to see how every thing looks then slowly add the firewall items and dash stuff.

   looks great but dont forget those plastic pieces inside fender between door jamb and fender, theyll help keep out road debris.

Jim, the TTI's fit very nice in my buddies E-headed 408 in the 70 Cuda chassis. It's easier to install them from below and you might have to raise the driver side of the engine and install the headers & starter at the same time. Once in they're awesome with lots of clearance.

I got the driver side in, I jacked the engine rear up a tad and got in place, the passenger side I need to remove the oil filter and like you said come in from the bottom.  I am just test fitting everything, it will all come out when the body goes back.
