Re: Engine install
It needs to be perfectly aligned to go together, both angularly, and up and down and side to side. Don't forget the shaft must be rotated to get the splines in angular alignment.
When putting the motor in my 33 I had the inspection cover off and was able to put a long pointed bar through the hole and push the splines around until they finally aligned and slipped in. Shine a good light down there so You can really see what is going on. Mart. |

Re: Engine install
Loosened tranny mounts & must have given enough extra play & spline finally meshed! Also opening window on back of tranny helped big time as I could see the spline when aligned, Thx Mart! Whew, made me work !

Re: Engine install
That's great news Anthony. Do a little write up and post it on Fordbarn for folks who may need the info. When situations like that occur, I always say, "Wait a minute, I can't be the only person ever confronted with this problem. Therefore, it's solvable."

Re: Engine install
Thx Guys for the good words, encouragement & help. Will do a little write up for anyone who might go thru it as you say 19Forty & I’ll give Mart credit for great idea removing the “take a peek” window cover on the back of the Trans, little thing but Giant help!
