So finally get to drop the motor in! Took the motor of the make shift engine stand I used while it was sitting for so long. I did shoot some fog spray in the cylinders and rotated the motor crank to make sure everything was still free moving since it had not be used in over10 years and all looked good!
Just raised up the motor and backed the trailer in place. Had it leave the back of the engine hoist on the concrete for the extra elevation and put wood blocks on the front arms. I had to do that when taking it out to clear the back of the boat so luckily remembered I needed to do the same to put it back in.
Pushed the limits of the engine hoist but she made it over the back! As I dropped the motor down had to pull the trailer up to get the back motor mounts to line up.
And got it bolted up. It did look like the right front engine mount is right against the lip where the floor meets the mounts, will probably have to do some modification there. Went ahead and bought the engine alignment tool so hopefully everything will line up correctly. My biggest fear at this point would be if the motor mount are too high to align the engine properly. I would hate to have to cut into them to make adjustments.
