I finally installed the rear engine cover and flexplate today. I used red threadlocker and torqued the fasteners to 85 ft-lb.
I also did a littel touch up paint in the engine bay and installed the shock tower mounts.
I ordered a couple of parts about a week and a half ago( intake manifold to heater elbow and the firewall hood seal) I will install the elbow today but the seal won't go in until much much later.
