November 30, 200520 yr Make sure you arent hitting the motor mount studs on the crossmember and that you have the transmission jacked up a little bit. You may also have a metal splash plate on the bottom of your engine that is bent causing the engine to not slide on all the way.

November 30, 200520 yr Author you have to turn the crankshaft to get the clutch/torque converter to seat. yah the gears are fit in fine maybe I just have to jack the transmission higher or something
November 30, 200520 yr Manual or auto? If it's a manual, you know that little shiny metal snout that sticks out of the input shaft? That has to slide into the pilot bearing in the flywheel. If you don't have it lined up enough, that snout will just hit the pilot bearing instead of sliding into it.

December 1, 200520 yr you should be able to swap the harness over from your old engine without to much trouble. For the wires that go under the manifold, tie a string to the plug when you pull it back and then you can pull the new one back under.
