14] Engine/trans/transfer case bolted together for mockup purposes and being set in place. That's just a "dummy" 305 in there for now, the 350 that's in my '75 now will be the engine I use. 4-speed trans and 205 transfer case in the picture are the ones I will be using, once the crossmember/driveshafts/clutch hookup have been determined and measured up everything is coming back out and trans/transfer case are going to get a checkup and any necessary repairs before going back in "for good"
