I'm struggling to install my new motor back in my car. I have reviewed McMarks engine removal below as well as the Pelican article

My engine tin is hanging up on the rear control arm nuts.

I will post a photo here in a minute

Thanks

You just have to wobble the engine a little side to side.

Tipping...

Hopefully this photo helps

Tilt it while you jack it above the trailing arm bolts!

It helps if you slip a piece of tin along each side between the car and engine shelf. Especially when working alone.

And do you have a few pics of that engine prior to install?? It looks really good!

Works everytime and won't bend up your nice reconditioned tin

Ground strap is on the wrong side ....................

Is it in?


Dave, there are many of us within a half hour drive that sure can come over and give you a hand putting the motor in.

Just let us know


Nothing is worse than getting a hand stuck or slipping the motor off of the floor jack

Woodward cruise is going on this weekend up here in the motor city

Saw this T shirt...

Thought it was hilarious

My apologies for not being politically correct... the mods may admonish me...

Large cup washers are missing on the transmission mounts ....

Where are you in Michigan?

The starter will get in the way of the axles. You just have to be patient and do let it frustrate you.

I think "do" let it frustrate you will come naturally!
