Did you use an engine hoist to lift the gbox into place?

Cheers

Nope, that time I manhandled it with a buddy and a jack. It's a bleeding heavy lump if you've not got much clearance so expect to curse and swear.

Next time round I did it on a 4 poster with a gearbox jack - so much easier.

The last time I did it I was on my own and used just a jack and leverage!

Worst bit of it I can remember is that steel pipe at the back of the head that has tabs that pick up on the top gearbox housing bolts, off easy enough, back on a real swine.
