Musical Chairs Engines Continued
Got the motor out of the 76 frame and into the 78 Special. Sometimes they just click in and sometimes they fight (usually depends on the amount of stuff ya left on the frame and the amount of help handy, I had lots and none respectively, so my go to is to simply strap the motor in so it can't fall out and put the bike back up on the stand. With a bit of wiggling, levering and pushing screwdrivers through the bolt holes to line them up, it falls into place.

So tomorrow I plan to take the numbers matching 76 engine off the stand and install it where it belongs.
I am not a big proponent of matching numbers especially for these machines, but if it's available why not. Besides, this one has a great back story.
I am planning to use all the good stuff I have been saving for the 76 and the BBK Special will be a bit of a hot rod.
