Improvised an engine support and tilting device out of some straight exhaust pipe, a couple pieces of shelving angle line, one piece of threaded 3/8 inch rod and a couple nuts and washers.

The rod passes through the pipe,  and as the bolt it tightened it pulls up on the rod.  I used muffler clamp nuts and shock washers.

Here the tool is cranked up  to bring the back of the engine down.  This made it much easier to line up the transmission for both removal and especially for installation.

It also helps for reaching those tough bolts and harness connectors.

I always wondered what those two holes in the front of the engine were for.. 

I bent the threaded rod at the end and attached a washer and nut, as a little extra safety margin. 

This angle gives you a better idea of how much the engine needed to come up to simplify the job.

The new flywheel in it's new home.  Thanks again Steve B., teeth on the flywheel look new.

Took longer to find the torque specs for the bolts than to tighten them up.  It's 62lbs. BTW.

Without the tilting tool, the rear of the engine wouldn't be hanging so low.

The V8Q transmission is a beast, size wise, but very well balanced.

Aside from showing the transmission, in this shot I get to show off my brand new Hazet Assistant in the background.
