[TR] Installing engine in TR2/3

[Andrew Uprichard]

I've done it twice and both times did engine/trans/od as a single unit.
Watch the area on the gearbox where the speedometer cable attaches - it is
easily damaged if you are concentrating too much on the front of the car (he
speaks from experience.....)

Subject: [TR] Installing engine in TR2/3

Hello Listers:
Approaching the engine installation stage on my long TR2 resto and 
wondering if installing engine/trans/od as a unit makes more sense 
than mating trans to engine in the car. The engine compartment is 
freshly painted, so some anxiety around clearances, etc. Have got the 
steering cross-shaft out, so have a bit more clearance from the front.
Any advice from past experiences? Engine and trans came out 
separately, but that operation is usually easier with old paint in 
engine compartment.
Thanks for any help with this.
