G'Day Fred,
A little helper in the task of aligning the flywheel housing with shims would be a magnetic base dial gauge stand. Maybe you could borrow one from someone?. You'd then be able to merely "stick" the magnetic base onto the clutch face on the flywheel & turn the engine slowly with the dial gauge reading off the bell-housing mounting face & make adjustments accordingly.

: Happy Days are here again,
: Just recieved the rebuilt short block back from complete overhaul.$1800.Labor, I suplied parts.ouch! The rolling chassis is sitting here with the front end attached to the bell housing and everything including trany is installed except,clutch and flywheel.My question is; How do I proceed with lining the engine to the flywheel to the tranny? Should I disconect the bell housing from the frame and attach to the block with the tranny still in place? Is it ok to install the timing cover and mount the engine before putting the head on etc.etc.Thanks in advance for the help. Best Regards,Fred
