Subject: Re: [TR] TR6 engine reinstall
That can work. The transmissions will interfere with the pressure plate un=
less the trans is like 4 inches back (maybe less), but if you get the engin=
e lined up with the trans it can go in with less clearance.
Install manifolds, and fan after engine is in. Dizzy can be in place but i=
t's safer to have it out and the hole plugged with a rag or something.
My experience is with a TR4 not a 6, but should be applicable.
