I put the engine in (with jkeyzer's help), but not the shift bar. Now I can't seem to get the shift bar in. I did manage to get the bushing in though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
It's an early car (70) and a sideshift bar. I'm using a regular tailshift bushing because the previous owner of the sideshift bar put a sleeve on it instead of using a conversion bushing. I can get it most of the way in through the bottom or the top, but not all the way. Am I screwed? Does everyone that does a sideshift conversion have to pull the engine? Can I get by with putting a jack under the engine and just removing the engine mounting bar? |

I ran into this a couple of months ago.
We lifted up the engine a couple of inches (in the front), I believe the engine mount bar must have been removed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Ditto Mike D.'s comments. Though I would use a jack stand under each head, or at least be careful if you are using just a jack.
Or even better. If when installing the shift bar, you are not able.... Go cable! You have the cable shifter ready for the other car, just make a second one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Yup, that sucked. It's in now though. Thanks for the help!
