The engine bolts to the frame with two long bolts positioned at the front and bottom rear and one short bolt located up the top towrdas the back. The frame also has a removable piece to make installing the engine an easier process.
Essentially what we did (this is a two man job) was position the engine and then guide both long bolts through the frame and engine. With one half of the frame now supporting the weight of the engine the removable piece of frame was lined up and then re attached. The third short bolt was then inserted. After which everything was tightened up.
"one of the long bolts"
"the short bolt, with the spacer can be a little tricky"
"the second long bolt is just under the brake pedal"
It took just under an hour to get everything ready and put the engine in, which isnt that bad. We also had a car jack under the engine just to help support the weight. Its a shame I was unable to make a video episode about this part, hopefully you get the idea of how it went in.
"one major hurdle down"
Next up! The carburettors!
