the only really big problem is tryin to work around the tranny shaft.... if it wasnt there i think it would drop in with a very lil if ne trouble

Try jacking up the back of the car and also changing the position of the chain. You are using an engine lift chain with the index for the chain?

CrazyCobraSpeed

yea im using an engine lift and a chain... but if i jacked up the bak it would be ezer to get the engine in but it owuld be near impossible to like it up with the tranny

install only the motor... take the trans and bellhousing off the setup, drop in the engine by itself, then put the trans in from the bottom

CrazyCobraSpeed

ok sounds good to me... is tranny ez to take out and put in???

Intresting. With most imports you install the motor-set (longblock with trans attached) all at once. So with a Mustang build, its best to install motor, then put the car on jack-stands and install the trans afterwards?
