Thank guys I just hope it runs as good as it looks! I got two new knock sensors yesterday from the stealership. I also used some plumbers epoxy on the tops of the covers to keep moisture out. Pulling the engine out the top was kind of a PITA with the crank pulley on. I also had to drop the AC condenser to get the pulley to clear. I also broke the oil pressure sensor on the back of the block because I forgot about it when pulling the motor. This time when I drop it back in I'm leaving the pulley and oil pressure sensor OFF. I got a new SLP UD pulley so I will put it back on the motor when it's in the car. It will be easier to do once I hook up the tranny instead of trying to grip the flywheel and torque the bolt to 240 lb/ft while the motor is out and wanting to spin free.

Believe me if I had a lift I would have dropped it from underneath. But I'm restricted to the only options I have available which is an engine hoist. I think with a couple of buddies we shouldn't have too much of a problem getting it to go back in. If it came out then it must go back in the same way

I will do some research on removing the front subframe. If I can get it all apart pretty simply then I will definitely go that route. I will probably then be able to put the engine back in by myself instead of waiting for friends to come help when they get a chance. Oh, and the eyebrow on the piston was caused by a misshift from 5th to 2nd at 65 mph
