I have read thru the books and viewed a view you tube videos, there seems to be any number of ways to install the engine.
One books says to mount the tranny to the engine first, One book says you HAVE to mount the tranny first, Tom Wilson's book says you can mount the engine 1st, and it might be easier to handle without the tranny, then install the tranny to the engine in the car. (I am kinda leaning this way, but wonder about the spline lining up and how well I did centering the clutch, etc... I have seen CAR UP/engine raising and ENGINE DOWN / car lowering. Anyone out there tried several and have an opinion on their favorite way? |

I prefer engine down, car lowering onto it. Safer and easier in the long run, IMHO. Just need an extra jack. Luckily, since my neighbors are always bugging me for tools, I never had a problem asking them to borrow one.
The only thing necessary is to remove carbs or possibly some the FI stuff to give you a little roomwhen installing. |
