Fitting the Engine and Transmission- oh yeah!
Hole cut inside, just enough to get shifter up through (basically first rough cut).
The tranny, yes its a Saginaw. Please dont hate.
Close up of the hole
Another angle, still first rough cut.
Rough cut cut.
The engine, bellhousing attached
Getting close...
In. Had to work the passenger mount in a little, but very straightforward.
Tranny in, crossmember under it.
Another angle
Ridiculously excited, this looks very sweet.
The cut outlined.
Second cut, shifter mounted. Oh yes!!!!!

Suspension parts arrived!
Summit delivery!
Auto Zone part #s (Inner driver #ES2001L AND Passenger inner is #ES2002- which I bought off Ebay.
Center link painted.
Using this paint
Pic of center link, idler, inner and outers.
I plan on repainting the sway bar now that this looks so nice.
Total cost of front suspension parts, including subframe bushings, tie rods, shocks, all control arm bushings, ball joints, center link, idler, greasable sway bar links- $375, including paint. This is using Craigslist for brand new shocks, Ebay for the inner passenger tie rod, Summit for discount idler and center link- basically doing some very fierce budget shopping.
Here are some additional shots:
