The crossmember is ready to go back on.

The engine is now back in my garage. :D
I'm going to detail the engine before it goes back in.

Detailed the manifold, manifold bracket and heat shield.
Noticed my heater hoses need to be replaced.

That's a nice level of gloss on the last piece there. What paint did you use?

Brandon, that's Dupli-Color Engine Enamel Ceramic low gloss black - DE1634. Claims 500 degree protection. They have a higher gloss black if you prefer more shine.

I used high temp VHT flat black ceramic manifold paint on the exhaust manifold which no one will ever see but for these pics.

Started the day finishing the prep work for the install.
Put in the front crossmember and tried to figure out the
best way to attach the chains to the engine & transmission.
It took a while and a whole lot of finess to get the engine back
into the car. That's where this story ends for today.
