The engine has landed!

engine getting dropped inThe engine dropped in last Thursday, with much help again from Hans. A tight fit getting the hoist squared away to the front of the car with limited space. If I have to do this again, I will find a smaller hoist. We ended up dropping the front mount in, then guiding the rear mounts into the mount bolt holes. Took a while, but we were gentle. Didn't destroy anything like when we yanked it out.

Still to do: hook up power steering pump, reconnect cooling system, install clutch, and get the axles and suspension back together. Then off to the alignment shop.

Should all happen this weekend, which is good, because the '90 Saab needs some work now. Got a vibration that's getting rapidly worse and the inner drivers need swapping, I fear. At least now I know how the axles all go together.
