Default Thanks OldTee, and also Bill Miller

Update (sorry, no photos)
This morning I made sure everything was okay in the engine compartment and ready for the engine, used Bill M's hoist to lift the engine off the stand and put it on OldTee's ATV jack. Removed the yoke, mated the transmission, and lined up the parts to ask OldTee about. He came by around 2:30 (I was still at Bill Miller's returning his hoist and picking up some parts) and we installed the engine into the car, and hooked up MOST of the stuff.

To get the engine running:
  • Attach oil lines from thermostat to engine/oil tank
  • Attach oil tube from engine (need to get 2 ring clamps first)
  • Figure out what line that looks like large vacuum line/plastic piece/small vacuum line, thats right by the oil fill tube, if for and if it can be plugged (will post a photo tomorrow if no answer by then)
  • Attach accelerator cable
  • Final check on fuse box - see what that one loose gray wire is
  • insulate (+) wires from rear fuse box (but mark - may be useful in the future)
  • Attach DME harness and DME relay
  • Attach battery
  • Attach giant black wire (to solenoid? - need to figure out for sure first)
  • Cross fingers
  • Turn key

Still to do to get the car actually able to move under it's own power:
  • Source clutch helper spring, clutch release lever, and change lever
  • Install the above on car
  • Attach clutch cable
  • Attach axles
  • Tighten axle bolts as tight as I can, pending a giant torque wrench
  • Install seat(s)
  • Install harnesses

To get car roadworthy:
  • Install rear bumper
  • Install horn
  • Have sway bar mounts welded in place
  • Install rear sway bar
  • Have car aligned and corner balanced
  • Install rear tow hook
  • Attach black and black/violet wires to tachometer

It looks like the Targa will get another shot at Mid-Ohio. Much as I want to get the coupe to that first event, realistically it would be a stretch and probably a really bad idea. I needed to be at my current point at least 2 weeks ago.
