With help from my friends, I'll have an engine in the car for the first time in a year, can't wait!

Thanks Kimo and Tony.

Well Silenc3r and I tried to get the motor in today, and it wouldn't go flush with the tranny. I ran out of time as my good friend was in town and had tickets to the local hockey game (Silvertips). We lost the last home game of the season. :( Anyways I get back to the car and find out that I had put the throwout bearing (this is a 98 wrx tranny) in backwards. Pretty sure that's why it wouldn't go in since I've done this a time or ten without issue, lol.

I'll see what I can do by myself on Sunday, but there's several other things on the car that need doing before it'll run, such as front axles, getting the rear diff *all* the way bolted in, passenger seat and manual belt, etc.
