Hey guys

 

its been a long time coming but im hoping to get the engine in this weekend, not really a problem

 

however.. when i pulled the engine, im sure i seperated the engine from the box and pulled them seperatly.

 

ive been thinking about it and obviously its nicer if i can fix the box up to the engine and bolt it all up nice without bashing too many knuckles etc and swearing at the clutch spline with 70kg of box on my chest

 

so three options

 

box and engine seperate

box and engine in through the top

box and engine bolted to front subframe on trolly then drop shell over as per factory

 

anyone got any real world experience, ive pulled two engines but never put one in. ive had lots of experience with other cars and have used all of the above methods

 

ps ive done a lot of work on the engine bay so keeping it scratch free is essential. oh and its a tt

 

your thoughts

thanks for the replies guys, hope to get it back in this weekend, clutch hasn't turned up so no choice anyways. ill update my thread with some pics
