Default What actually needs to be done?

1.) Assemble the clutch and bell housing. Making sure the bell housing is aligned with the crank. (You might be able to get the engine builder to do this.)

2.) Remove what you can from the engine bay to make the install easier.

3.) Tie back wires and hoses.

4.) Make sure the engine mounts and transmount / crossmember are correct.

5.) Get a lift and tiller.

6.) Slide the whole thing in.

7.) Depending on the mounts make sure it is all level.

8.) Hook up clutch, adjust.

9.) Hook up starter

10.) Run fuel lines and filter.

11.) Attach speedo cable/electronics.

12.) Ground strap to the engine.

13.) Install battery

14.) Mount ignition module.

15.) All of the of course assumes you take your times and make it all neat.

16.) Have a drive shaft made or are they pre made depending in trans choice?

That is off the top of my head. What else is there?

I have a roll on lift which will make parts of this easier. I can get a jack that travels along rails on the lift so you can lift the wheels up while on the lift.
