Hey is it easier to attatch all the forward exaust, wastgate, starter motor etc then squeeze it all in from the top or slide everything underneath and pull it upward? I remember doin my NA and I just stuck Tranny torque tube and engine all together then slid it under the car (with suspenseion removed) on a skateboard (for tranny) and creeper for engine. then lifted it into place, however I didnt have the awkward turbo s..t to deal with and this car has the suspension in and I am lazy nearly 20 years older as well....

Easiest way. . .make your wife do it.



We dropped it in with turbo and manifolds attached, then attached remaining exhaust plumbing and wastegate.

My install went slowly One hint If yo dont have an engine hoist trolley.....get one. I hoisted the engine up via a joist in the roof and a block n tackle and manouvered the car under it, what a hassle... also if your 931/2 clutch plate isnt perfect you just line it up so the engine can "float in and out of the guide tube freely then touching the plate with the shaft pressurise the clutch , wriggly slowly against the clutch plate should move it to allow the splines to fit and slide in .... dont wack it in cause you might bend a few spline faces which mkes it harder to lush it in, then use the bolts to clamp together.
