OK my new long-block(3vz)is sitting in my carport. i am going to install it this weekend. last time i dropped the motor in it was a pain to get in. even after i took all the belts and headers off. this time i am thinking i will fully assemble the motor on the stand and try to get it in with the radiator support out of the way it looks like it might work?


PS before i cut the support out. I plan on bolting some L channel steal with two bolts on either side of where i would cut the sheet metal. just so it lines back up then take off the L channel cut the sheet metal support out of the way.
