The next step was to clean up the engine bay,so the car will be ready to put the engine in. The first picture is before cleaning it the other two are after.

Making progress, slowly but surely Dave. About three years ago when I installed the lifts in my garage, I installed four eye bolts in the foundation walls lined up with the lifts,so I could use them to pull cars in and out of the garage with them. Today I used my come along and a couple of chains to move this 71 Charger off the lift,raise the lift up,and pulled the car back into the garage,so I can put the Hemi engine and transmission into the car. Once this is done, I will winch the car out and pull it back up onto the lift. I am almost ready to install the Hemi now. I am trying to take advantage of every decent weather day to try to make it happen!

I took it one step further and made brackets for my hoist and mounted a winch for pulling non-running vehicles up the driveway and up onto the hoist also.
