Well guys I got the old engine out and put the new engine in. It was a lot tougher than I thought it would be. Pretty much had to stip down the new engine to get it to fit inside. Now I need to install fan shroud, alternator, oil and fuel lines, carb linkage.
I couldn't get the trans linkage at the tail shaft out, looks like something was welded on, so I had to remove the all the trans bolts in the center to get me about an inch of lift and that helped me slide in the new motor. Never doing this again.
Thanks for the great info on what to do for removal.
