It took me and a friend a good 15 minutes to get my engine in recently. Assuming the clutch is installed properly, the angles and alignment are critical in getting these units together. Have someone underneath work a small jack under the tranny while you work the engine on its jack. The person underneath can see the angles much better. Off by 2 degrees up, down or sideways and it won't fit. -- Stuart MacMillan Seattle '84 Vanagon Westfalia w/2.1 '65 MGB (Daily driver since 1969) '74 MGB GT (Restoring sloooowly) Personal mechanic for: '70 MGB GT (Daughter's) Assisting on Restoration (and spending OPM): '72 MGB GT (Was daughter's, now son's) '64 MGB (Son's) Stripped and gone but their parts live on: '68 MGB, '73 MGB, '67 MGB GT
