Getting the Engine Out

Getting the Engine in

As stated previously, we found the easiest way of swapping the engine was keeping, engine, gearbox, crossmember, brakes and front suspension all in on package, and putting the cars body on top of the front end setup...

The hardest part about doing it this time was actually lining up the struts to fit in the holes in the body.... We aligned the engine straight on the floor and aligned it with the car, then all we did was slowly lower the body onto the engine while making sure everything was fitting into its position fine... After the body was in place a little moving around we we bolted her in place starting with the strut towers and then moving onto the crossmember.

Here are some pics of the getting the engine into the vk
