I'm doing most of it on my own and asked a couple of guys to help me try and get the engine on the box - but it just isn't happening.
Thought i'd ask here to see if i'm doing something wrong???

get some threaded bar same size as studs cut to about 6"and screw into bottom 3 or 4 bell housing bolt holes. This allows ya to slide onto the Gear box in dead straight and properly lined up.

Yes in neutral and there is already a HD clutch arm fitted with 5mm plate welded across the pivot point.

FFS the BB option is for when he's virtually finished;; Can't have him turning up too early..

There aren't any studs in the gearbox bell housing and all bolt holes are clear.

do the threaded bar or better still long bolts with the heads cut off. (they slide thru the gear box holes better.)
The you'll know that engine and Gearbox are properly lined up. also remove the engine mounts so you can slide it in level and not have to lower it in over the mounts.
