well me and my unkle got the engine in today and it sure was a pain in the A$$ wen trying to change the motor mounts we found out that the nuts wernt welded into the fram for the bolts so after about an hour of messing with it we had to take the lower control arms off to change them then after that we put the finishing touches onto the motor and we droped it in took like 20 mins but it was kind of smooth and we got the starter, exhuast manifolds, intake and tranny hooked into it so all thats left is the front end pullys, connect the pipes to manifolds, fill it with oil, prime it, start it, and adjust the valves then ill be good to go and i cant wait till this motor breaks in so i can take it to the track to see what it runs it should be pretty quick basicly same motor as my last except it has the high lift comp cam in it but hopfully ill know soon if not this week ill get it started this sat and well see how it sounds.

my computer is messed up so i cant get on photobucket to get better pics up so ill have to load it through here for now so here you go...

well since the old bolt i had for the harmonic balancer wont fit into my new engine i went to Auto Zone to get a new one and the guy tells me they dont have one that i would have to go the the Chevy dealer for it im thinking WTF go to the dealer for a 76 350 would they even have that part there?

You can get that bolt easily. I forget what length and thread size/pitch it is. I got one from summit from Mr. Gasket I think.
