First engine fitting. The intake manifold needs to come off along with the oil filler and the dipstick.
Note that the AWD trans is a bit long. I will fix that later. See the ground strap just hanging in air - that explains the slow cranking of the original engine.
In the last few pictures the engine is in the correct location front to back but it is 1-1/2" low because the back of the transaxle is hitting the muffler heat shield. There is a comfortable 12" between the engine and the firewall.
