Installing the engine in our C-10, I was attempting to make it to the 50th annual Airflow Meet but as some know I abandoned the mission and returned home. Since it was put on the road 1300 miles have been registered but this past week the radiator has developed a drip.

One of the photos shows the hood fasteners which to me looked like a can-of-worms that I didn't want to open with the tight schedule, the reason for me trying to install the engine without removing the hood.

Hi Jazzer

I am impressed that you were able to do the job without removing the hood (crane clearance). When I had the engine out of My SE (6 cyl) I remember it being a pretty tight fit.

Thanks for sharing the pics though. Fascination stuff. How about some views of the whole car?

Adam..

Adam, here are some photos. the day it came home the car was together except for the engine and transmission being in pieces and all fasteners were in one bucket. It was tight getting the engine in without removing the hood, I did have to lift the lid off the "rests" to get it under but I was kind of hurrying and those long bolts were something I didn't need to deal with at the time.

Recently the radiator developed a slight leak so I carry a small pail and collect what drips out then dump it back in for the next ride. I have a 35 C-2 radiator to try when I get time.
