As of 10pm tonight, I finished dropping the engine in. Bellhousing, mounts, and torqe converter are all bolted up. Everything looks good. The garage is once again a huge mess. Tomorrow begins bolting the rest of it up, fluid check, prime, and hopefully zoom-zoom. Once I get it started, I'll be spending this whole weekend breaking it in and hopefully not just breaking it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> This is Raider the 4th (by engine). Let's hope this one lasts! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I'm currently on the final part of installing the engine: installing the exhaust pipes. Guess what? Jasper sent the wrong sized gaskets with the kit. No gasket - no go. I cannot begin to describe the anger I feel right now. If there were a Jasper rep present at the moment, I would be guilty of murder.

Jeez, what a crappy operation. Doug - the gaskets on mistuparts.net total $30, maybe something they have at Napa?

Well, someone from Jasper decided to stay late to help me out. They've tracked down a set of gaskets at their warehouse in Washington state. They will be sent to me Fed-Ex next day air with Saturday delivery. I think that kind of shipping is slightly less than $100.
I've got two bets going here:
#1: Fed-Ex screws up and loses the shipment
#2: The package arrives here tomorrow as it should, with the same incorrect gaskets as I already have.
Anybody else wanna place a bet?
EDIT: Wow, I've never been able to feel the blood vessles in my temples before.
