Definitely looks good now that it is together, you are in the home stretch now. What kind of nitrous setup are you going to run on it?

everybody round here keeps saying you have to put it in and take it out from the bottom...i see ya can do it otherwise. long as you dont have all the accessories on the motor you can do it from the top huh?

It does look nice - you doing this at a warehouse?

IMO, I'd rather put as much on as possible while on the ground in the k-member - for me it was a ton easier. Gotta do what you gotta do though...

Sure is easier without a trans, LTs or radiator in the way LOL

It all depends on your situation, resources and personal preference.
I generally pull from the bottom, but that's not to say I wouldn't pull from
the top if it made sense for that particular project.
