Congrats on getting the engine/trans in the Corvette! I have always called them ty-wraps. It's from working in the electronics industry in the late 1970's, 80's.
Glad you got the engine back in the car. I was feeling your pain when removing that rad core support. I had to replace mine while replacing the a/c system with all new components including new rad. I was mouthing ‘it comes out from the top’. My core support had some rust holes. Bear in mind that the core support adds structural support for the nose of the car. I read that you need to support the nose while the core support is out. Also be careful about leaning and putting weight on the fenders or you will end up with a ‘ drooping nose’. I have also replaced the spark plug wires in the car and stayed with the original routing through the motor mounts. What a PITA…..

yeah leaning on the fenders is a bad habit to be sure but my back won't allow me being more gentle to the car. lol
The struggle is real! These old vetts, omg. To be doing this solo is a real pain.
Could you provide the Part Number for the crossmember tranny mount you are installing at the 11:35 minute mark?
