we left the alternator on the conversoin we did too, just pushed the engine back as far as possible and kept moving and adjustung it til it cleared

as for the gearbox, all jam did was pop the shafts from the gearbox, leaving the lower arms etc still on the car


when we dropped the engine back in, we attached the gearbox afterwards from underneath the car, we had the engine attatched to the engine mounts and tilted it to the gearbox side, got jack under the box and jacked it up to line it up and tried to align the little shaft that comes out the gearbox

then bolted it all back up and jam popped the shafts back in


hope that helps, i think i have remembered it to the best of my knowledge, i have a shyte memory

haha same ere! thanks mate thats awesome! i should be crackin on with it tommorow evenin and the weekend, any tips u can giv me or thing i need to look for?

just remember where things came from, take your time

other than that, once you've removed all your bits off your 1.6 and transfered it to the 2.0, it litterally goes back in the same way it came out

pm sent

cheers mate! got pm, will let u no how things go, would post everything up wit pics but dont really have time atm! lol but will keep u informed lol

if youve got the means to do it

drop the lot under.. ive always found that way easier if you want to keep it whole

or as terry said, split the box/engine then take half under and half over

its a fairly simple job, just laborious

cambridge.. hmm thats quite a way from me too sadly, or i would love to come and help

We went under the car to get my engine in, we never had the chance to take it out tho, but we normally go under

Standard suspension rocks!
