I would add the gearbox to the engine, now that the engine is in situ.

It's possible, using plenty of tree strops I've used in the past. instagram @v8_scumbag |

I'd do them separately. Motor and box is a big old lump to move about. A hanging gearbox is easier to locate on the back of the fixed and mounted engine.

As you have the body off, you either have to persuade the engine and gearbox together while they're on the floor, or while one is solidly mounted to the chassis. I'd pick the latter! |

When me and my dad did an engine conversion we added the full works together and lifted the full works into the subframe. Made life easier |
