Ok, we made some great progress this weekend! We've got the motor just about in, with only about 1" more to go to mate the engine and tranny all the way. We ran out of time, but I was going to put a strap on the tranny to the axle to help pull them together, and rotate the rear driveline to get the splines to align.
The real bugger was putting the clutch fork and throwout hub retainer clips on while the two were partly together! I fought the upper clip for probably 30 minutes- eventually I had to bend it a hair to get it on. Tough to do blind. I'm sure I did that in the wrong order.
I think another day of wrangling and it'll be together. Then reassembly and hopefully the thing starts!!
