Hope your hand is doing better fstop.
Sorry, but I just had a chuckle when I read that because it reminded me of helping a friend drop a rebuilt 283 in a 59 Corvette using chains and pulleys. There were four of us and the owner smashed his pinky but didn't loose it. After we got the engine in place and put the radiator and hood back on, that polished, finned aluminum air cleaner GM used (later on the 65 and 66 GTO too) focused the sunlight on the hood and set his fiberglass hood on fire. He ended up with a one inch hole in his hood and 15 minutes in the ER getting a finger Xray. That must have been ages ago if we only spent 15 minutes in the ER. Take care of yourself fstop, and now you can look forward to setting off every airport metal detector!! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
This was a vette engine too. As for the detectors, i have three screws in my leg, so i already do a great job of setting the detectors off.
will have to say, i was lucky, if my hand had been about a quarter inch over, the stud in the mount would have gone through the hand, when the engine slammed against the mount bracket.
