drop the box, bolt engine and box together then back in... is it an early or late model, does it have PAS ? if it is later then you can go in from the top

leave the box in place mate!!! very easy if you have a hoist. me and my mate done my c16xe conversion with the box left in place, didnt even use a hoist, the only pain is getting the input shaft from the box into the clutch. it will save you alot of time rather than getting the shafts out, undoing th elinkage and mounts ect ect. trust me leave it in, drop the engine in from the top....
