With great relief the motor installed great. Afraid the shafts wouldn't align, I was nervous until it popped into place. There was only one hiccup getting the flywheel on the adapter plate on the motor. The bolts I'ld gotten were too short and the torque to high so one bolt got stripped a bit. With longer bolts and lower torque to match the motor mount (aluminum) the adapter plate is on, with the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate. Its a heavy bugger, but still light enough for 2 of us to lift.
This video is the first power up of the motor in the car to an old battery. Notice how the battery goes dead and the flywheel starts grinding on the bellhousing when just a little resistance is put on the tire.
