This is an issue which has been the topic of conversation on the forum for a few weeks now.
Basically, I've decided to support the engine on it's engine mounts so I can access the back end to install the f/wheel, clutch and eventually the gearbox.
In this state I can run it and deal with the fiddly peripheral bits before it goes in the car.
I'm using old engine mounts and scrap steel tubing and designing it on the fly.
Consequently it will probably look a bit 'iffy' but should be functional enough.
The issue I'm dealing with right now is how to support the rear of the motor before I attach the g/box. It may be like this for some time so I'd like it to be strong but also be able to allow me to get to the pan if I need to.
I will also use the castors from my rotisserie to give it some mobility.
