George,

Thanks for the tip, but it seems like I can either move the engine around
or else I can move the transmission around (I've tried both).  I've sort
of tried what you are suggesting, but I've given up today.  I'll give that
wedge idea another try tomorrow (besides, it started raining).  I know its
very close, but having not done this before, I'm not sure of all the
tricks.

thanks,
Blake
