The Isuzu stake bed was just wide enough to carry the fuse to Cable. 22 mile trip from my house. Very secure ride with no problems. Used only ramps for the main wheels so the nose wheel could drop down and keep the the tail from hitting the ground.

Parked in the EAA 448 Hanger. I felt bad leaving her there after having her in my garage for a year. I guess I was having some separation anxiety!

Mounted the engine! Wasn't as bad as some had made it out to be. Had it on before lunch. Note: Started by putting the bottom mounts in first. Make sure you put the top mounts that go between the engine and the mount in place before getting the nuts started on the bottom bolts. There was not enough room to squeeze them in and I ended up undoing the bottom ones to make room.

Mounted the Vans supplied Vetterman exhaust. Some assembly required. You have to trim two of the pipes on the 0320. It comes ready to install on the 0360. You end up removing about an inch from the end of the two pipes that slide inside the ones that match it on the other side. They have already marked the pipes for you to cut. I used an air motor and a composite cutoff wheel.

Looks Good! Everyone seems to like the red paint job. Before mounting the exhaust I mounted the carb and the control linkage plate that goes between the carb and the sump.

Close up of the exhaust system. I started to work on the hangers but, decided to wait until the cowl was on to check clearance.

Some shots of the back of the engine. With the EI flow transducer mounted in this location I can use the Vans FWF supplied fuel line. This is where things start getting a little tight.
