68 GT500 Engine details and installation.

Only one fits your car. Its the L shaped bracket. Its part of the motor mount

Leave the booster out. Notice the use of cardboard and foam rubber matting.

She's tight but it fits.

Have a look at this while I find a few pictures for you.

That is taking it easy and being careful. Cool Video!!

The mock up is pretty good

I would change the oil cap, the steel pipe for the booster, the tag on the carb, the ps pump color and the oil filter.

The AC oil filter is much shorter. The oil filter adapter could be more aluminum

Thanks, Pete.

I just opened the PS pump today and found it painted black. I sent it to the rebuilder literally years ago and just left it in the box. Was hoping Dan knew something I didn't... Oh well, Ill paint over it.

What's the issue with the steel pipe for the booster? And the carb tag?

Ill swap out the filter once the engine has been broken in and the special oil is ready to be changed.

And, I'm on the hunt for the correct oil breather cap... if you have one laying around

What color are the AC pulleys - Aluminum?

What color are the AC pulleys - Aluminum?

The clutch and the donut electro magnet are zinc silver. The waterpump , crank and PS pulleys are semi gloss blk. Even though black is the typical rebuilder color curious of what mfg the pump is. The third second line on the ID tag found on the rear of the pump tells who by the letter.  It will be a F for  Ford Thompson which is the bluish shade and W for TRW which was black . Both were used but one maybe a little more prevalent.

Look at Chris' motor for correct location of tag on carb.

Shape on booster steel line looks correct

Sure enough, I have a HBA-BH pump with a W. Go Dan! I vaguely remember having this conversation with him years ago after sending him my complete original setup for rebuilding. He's a lovely guy and does great work.

Here are a few of the engine compartment before the install.

If you want a different angle I have a few more. 

[Special Ed]

I think I would install booster first with out M/C then remove the tall wide 68 Shelby LH valve cover before engine drop.

[Coralsnake]

Yes, I agree with Ed

Better yet install the booster and master leave the valve cover off.

[The Going Thing]

I installed the engine in my 67 500 with the hookers and four-speed on it. The valve covers, coil, and accessories were off the engine. I had it in, on the mounts and bolted down in 28 minutes. 
The extreme angle required was impossible with the hoist available at Harbor Freight. I rented one that would fit under the car between the tires.
I used two carburetor plates being I was concerned with that much weight on one flange.
I used moving blankets over the shock towers and over the core support and put the rear of the car about two feet in the air on jack stands and dropped the idler arm off of the frame .
I didn't believe you could install it with headers until I saw his pictures of the installation. It can be done!

  I got this tip from the VMF: you can also jack the rear of the car way up due to the extreme angle nessary to put the big block engine in.

I guess nobody looks at pictures anymore

[Coralsnake]

I have set them straight in, no need to tilt (or very little)
