With the help of three of my friends, I finally got the engine and trans in! It took some finagling to get everything to fit, and getting the headers in is going to require a removal of the steering shaft, but it’s finally in!!
Tomorrow I’m going to go back and put the headers on, the intake back on, and put the wiring harness back in place. From there I need to sort out power steering and radiator hoses. Then, it’s onto the driveshaft and rear diff - my 3.91 rear diff should be in on Saturday. There’s a -slim- chance I’ll be able to fire it up on Sunday.
I’ve been putting in about 8 hours a day on this for the past week and a half, and even more than that during the time off I had during thanksgiving. My parents are graciously letting me use their garage to do this swap, so there’s a lot of motivation to get it done and out of their hair!

Huh, Oppo is home to both Ford and GM swapped E36s. At this rate I look forward to finding out if a Hemi fits.

I didn’t know about the Ford e36, I’m going to have to look into it now!
