I got the harmonic balancer, engine adapter plate, and fuel pump block off plate installed this morning. Then I had to clean up the bay enough to get this thing inside the shop.

Started removing front clip to get ready to set engine in it's new home.

We pushed the truck in the shop and rolled the front of the frame right under the engine. Now the fun part comes. I'm going to have to notch my front cross member and brace it according. Then I can start building an engine cross member and get the mounting ears made up. Right now it's just sitting on the cross member and a big jack stand.
