Hmm... Main thing holding me back is I need to drill out all four studs on the manifold outlets. Then the trans can go back in, the exhaust back on, and the car can go on the ground.

I did the motor mounts and the air /oil separator today as well as cleaned the throttle body. Need to do the vanos seals, then get the valve cover back on and power wash the engine. Cooling system, then onto the interior stuff. But as far as being able to drive it, it's really close.
