Well been crazy busy with family visits and such but finally got back into today by dropping the body on to see where the motor was going to sit. Unfortunately it was sitting too high because the intake was pushing the bonnet up by an inch or so out with plasma cutter and mig and managed to drop it by the required amount and still left about 4mm clearance on the harmonic balance thus far. And now that's where the real fun began starting with the gearbox, I mounted the box outside the car and then proceeded to drop it in as one unit (But) the box is so damn long I couldn't get it up on the rear crossmember and clear the tunnel/firewall and to top it off the OHC's were hitting on the front body support rail.
So messed about for several hours trying alternative solutions but came up short or should I dare say long Lol. So separated the gearbox and shoved that up into position strapped it up dropped the motor back on the floor shut the shed door went and sat down and just cracked a can because tomorrow is another day.
