Gotcha, I actually just picked up a second engine stand from Craigslist for $20 so I can swap everything from one to the other side by side.

More progress... yeah!

Put on the water outlet pipe and belt. Installed fan assembly, then the upper and lower radiator hoses. Installed intake and throttle body.

Wow that is a deal for sure. I would have not been so lucky as to get a engine stand for 20 bucks.

At least, not having a stand, will mean that all your hose clamp screws are accessible with the engine in the car. Should you need to do a spot of plumbing in the future.

Good to see your progress.
