Hello folks in Austin!
I am hopeful some one with more experience than I could help lend a hand or two to help me reinstall my engine and transaxle. I originally hired a mechanic to do the rebuild, but after 2 months, he quit on me. After he completely disassembled the engine into 1000 pieces. Found FAT performance and they are doing the rebuild. Engine should be coming back soon to Austin and I am in need of some knowledge on re-installing the engine. If anyone out there can help, I would be most appreciative. Thanks Doug |

Motorcycle jack.... Very helpful when you're short handed. I used a Harbor Freight Transmission Jack. Mount the tranny to the engine, get the whole assembly balanced on the HF jack and it uses a 1/2" ratchet to raise and lower. The balance point is the key. I have installed my engine 2 times with it, and by myself both times. It was kinda fun, wish I could help. HF tranny jack |
