Decided to break the gearbox and transfer box off the engine so I can put it back onto its stand to make painting easier, also found one of the core plugs on the engine has popped off, probably when I dropped the engine (only from about a foot high) when it slipped off the engine crane.. My fault for not securing the harnesses properly on the hook.

With the distributor and coil off the side of the engine it looks a lot less cluttered, hopefully my crazy plan with an rb25 CAS into the megasquirt ECU will hopefully make it look a lot cleaner

The core plug that popped out

Can now get to the back of the engine properly
