Well it ended up being a 2 man job, scottc was in the area and willing to lend a hand- so we split the engine and fitted gear box first then engine--
it was very tight and took a lot off forcing past chassis rails to squeeze in, with a mm spare!!
here are a few pictures and i still need conformation that this will be ok fitted like this!!
1) the gear box shaft comes out over 1inch higher than where the height the diff flange is at (so prop will be on a angle)
2) the gear box mount is right on the edge, will this be ok??
3) the alternator is only a few mm from the rail!
4) and how do i know the engine is level in all axis and shafts are pointing perfect???
5) Gear stick side of box is very near the rails, will this rubbing cause damage??
1. as long as the faces are parallel, no problem
2. may need to make a plate
3. we have told you that you need a smaller alternator a few times...
4. measure it, a few mm tolerance should be okay...
5. maybe... if its the "hoops" a small squash on the inside wont hurt to badly, but dont crush it...
Opinions are like backsides..
Everyone has one, nobody wants to hear it and only other peoples stink!

arrived yet

yea its in but its bloody tight i struggled to lift it out last night, after i had drilled my holes, i though it was stuck- i was lifting the
car by the engine at one point until somthing giveup...ha ha oh well at least i can get it in!
And bracket for gear box mount sounds good i only need 10 mm lower to give me sensible clearance... any thing else is a bonus
And thing is i dont know how the hell ill get the propshaft in!!!! as i need to push the gear box back one inch to get the engine in.... so i cant fit
it before... and if i fit it last will it drop through the tunnel??
