engine is in!

and fits!

just! :)

All joking aside, it took only a couple of hours to get the engine into a position I am happy with for now. There were no major dramas and it appears my CAD and cutting were accurate to within +/-5mm or so as I had hoped. 

The lump is just resting on stands for now but will allow me to put the final touches tot the engine and gearbox mounts, as well as beginning the interesting stuff like figuring out coolant, oil, fuel and exhaust routings, and measuring up for driveshafts.

Some evidence:








in this last shot you can see the beginnings of the gearbox mount bar.
