How to Install the Engine?
I've put all the parts in the car all the way up to the tires but no further. I tried to get the engine in but it just kinda flopped around. Will I have to remove parts to install it or am i just doing it wrong?

There are several discussions on this exact subject. Just read the forums, no need to create yet another thread.
And yes, youre prpbably doing it wrong. Use engine hoist and lower the engine little by little checking the alignment. The motor mount screws should appear when you have it in the right spot. Tighten them and youre done.

I am already to that part. I mean I have the engine in the hoist above the hood, lowered it in, but nothing really happened

So what do you do? Also do you put the halfshafts in before the engine or after?

When lowering the engine check that the mounts are lining up, you won't get any sounds or indication that it's in the right spot.

What you have to do is align it best you can and eventually the bolts will appear in the subframe, once you get 1 tight the engine will snap into position and only disconnect the engine from hoist once all the mount bolts have been done up.

Half shafts can go in later, loosen main hub bolt to install them.

Crap. Already have half shafts in. Do I NEED to remove before putting the engine in or no?

You can put them in before.

No. I got it in just fine with the shafts in there.

no. it took me half an hour of messing with the hoist but you'll get it. there's two tabs on either side of the engine the bolts on the hoist have to line up with. it'll make a ting noise when it's lined up.

Im really sorry and I feel stupid but I got the engine in the front of the car, but no mounts are showing up.

Honestly at this point I'd rather download a save file with the engine in and go from there. :/ I feel like I completed it all but the glitchiness is keeping me from completeing the car. Is save file download an option?

Here's what I did. Get the wheels on. All four. And then push the car into the shop so you can use the pit. It's much easier from there to see the mounts lining up.
