FedEx delivered my engine stand today. I assembled it on my lunch hour and got the 4.8 bolted up to it after work (I got off early and had some time to kill).
After that, I labeled every wiring connector that was still in place & pulled the harness off of the motor. [IMG]

With help from my buddies at the shop I got the motor + stand inside & next to my work bench, which is now high on my list of favorite places. I can now pick at it during lunch breaks until it is ready to drop in to the truck, rain or shine. [IMG]

Not pictured is the broken remains of a nylon cam-strap still bolted to the engine. Be smarter than I am, guys - lift with chain.
That's all for tonight. Hopefully by Friday I'll have enough done for another update.
PS I swear, my work station is never that messy except for Friday evening!
