Good advice for anything you have to bolt together. Get them all in before you tighten the first one.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.

Hey, tell Joe that if he wants to make a copy of the water neck, I'd be interested in buying one. I'd have to have someone else make it since I don't know crap about welding anyway, and all the welders I know fear alluminum.
