Progress we made today. Got the engine on the hoist, and flywheel bolted up.
Only that in one day!?!? You say. Well, I also totally forgot about my gauge panel which was completely unwired. So, today we tackled the immense task of wiring the panel. We got it done successfully
I should warn you, please have tissue on hand before looking at these pictures
Tomorrow starts the drop in process
By friday, it should be driving (I can only work on it after work 
)

It started out as a huge cluster **** of wires and by the evening we had everything straightened out 
A lot of the wires were sitting on the other side of the cushions on the couch. Doesn't look that bad in this pic.

Roughly $1000 actually. There all electronic gauges, not mechanical. NHRA doesn't allow mechanical fuel pressure, and oil pressure gauges in competition.

My head unit is in my room. Its unusable. We took the front mounting plate off, and used a band saw to chop the unneeded part off, then glued the gauge panel to the mounting plate. Worked great, I would take the speakers out, but its too much of a pain in the ass.
