It helps to raise the front of the car a few inches. Pad the front of the shroud well to prevent scratches. An engine leveler helps. Make sure all your chains will take the weight, a friend had one snap right as everything was hanging over the front of the shroud, not pretty. Remove the gear shift lever. Observe how time slows down as you hold your breath when the lump is hanging over the shroud.

The clearances between the top of the bellhousing and the firewall and the crank pulley and front cross member are small, requiring a lot of finesse and small adjustments to wiggle the unit in place. Plus someone with a strong back and a belt under the tail of the trans/OD is needed to lift it up over the X brace. However if done separately, you’d have to get the fore-aft vertical alignment right and then support the aft end of the engine while you align the input shaft to the pilot bearing and bolt the bellhousing to the engine. That was no piece of cake for me when I had the trans out with the engine in place. On balance, I’d rather connect the engine and trans out of the car and install them as a unit. But that’s just me.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Bruce Steele<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Brea, CA<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>1960 BN7<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>_______________________________________________<br>Support Team.Net <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys</a> <a href="http://autox.team.net/archive/healeys" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/archive/healeys</a><br><br><a href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net" target="_blank">Healeys@autox.team.net</a><br><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys</a><br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/healeyrik@gmail.com" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/healeyrik@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
