<x-flowed>Jim and Bob,
   Thank you for the reply.  I know this will be difficult to believe, but 
I have not slept much waiting for your reply.

   Is there a difference between a type 1 tranny and a type 3 tranny?  I am 
wondering why the guy helping me did not tell me I would have an issue with 
my case.  I know that he uses an old split tranny housing as a fixture to 
run engines on a stand, so he would have been familiar with any issues.  He 
is out of town right now, so I can't ask him till Monday.  I also do not 
know what type of tranny I have (type 1 or 3).

   I am also wondering if this clearance issue was part of the reason that 
I had problems getting the engine in.  I struggled for 3 hours to get the 
engine to line up and go in.  I only discovered that it was bound up AFTER I 
got all of the wiring, fuel line oil lines etc. connected.  I filled the 
oil, and the lines to the remote filter.  I hit the key, and the starter 
clicked, but the engine didn't turn.


I believe that when I pull it out, I will unbolt the filter assy. from the 
car, instead of breaking open the lines.
