Yesterday we were fortunate to borrow a engine hoist from a family friend and got the motor in the chassis. The hoist made the job much easier and we managed to get it in fairly stress free.
Unfortunately as I sat down to look at my motor I realized that the water outlet on top of the motor has a crack where the bolt and stud go through. My girlfriend's grandfather had an extra 30/31 pipe to use so I will be taking the wire brush to it soon and putting it in the broken pipe's place.
