I got it in, I took the head off, which made it easier to handle due to weight, and having more room to manuever it. The fram mounts were tight, and the front was lined up but the back I couldnt get in place due to it wanted to shift at an odd angle.
So I seated the front, Held the top rear pushing it towards the right side (from drivers perspective. I then used a rubber mallet and nudged the bottom mount over into place.
This was a blessing in disguise. At some point the engine was upside down during storage or shipping. The entire cylinder was completely filled with oil. That would have been a bad day had I attempted to start it. Goin to assemble it, and check valve lash while the head is off.
Sorry if I'm ranty, forgot to turn on the ehaust in my garage before using brake cleaner for all the oil everywhere. I wouldn't feel this lit with a half gallon of Jim Beam.
Gonna go get some fresh air.
