>On a related area (someone might have answered this already), how many
shims
are needed for the engine mounts to make sure the crank hole lines up
correctly? Do I put the rad in place temporarily and the engine and then
shim it align?

When asked how long a sheep's legs should be, Abe Lincoln replied "Long
enough to reach the ground."
Others have stated that they needed none. I just put five home-made shims
(1 1/2 x 3/8 fender washers) on one side and none on the other side to get
my dog bolt aligned with the hole in the radiator - I not only had to raise
it up but shift it to the left.
In other words - you will have to put some in and see how it goes. Trial
and error.
