engine swap trouble

[gpeele]

the bolts that hold the spindle to the drive shaft are seized for me, i tried test fitting the enigne to see if the drive shaft would just slide into the transmission but no go. im about to drop the whole drive shaft, granted those bolts arent seized also, and try and shove it into the transmission. before i do this though is there anything that you guys found works in this situation?

which bolts?

when i do swaps, i disconnect the front half of the driveshaft from the rear half and pull it out that way. less to carry around out of the car. If they're hard to get undone, use a wrench locking technique

The part that connects to the transmission?

im sorry i was useing the wrong term, its the yoke not the spindle, theres six bolts holding it onto the drive shaft and i rounded off two of them, not the wrench slipping type of rounding off either, its the pb blaster wont cut it type of rounding off if you know what i mean. i ended up having to drop the drive shaft some to get the motor in and then i was able to push the shaft into the transmission. advice via s13sr20chris in another post, thanks man.

So, you fixed it? Maybe, I'm confused...

yep everything is in. are you still interested in the clutch package? i can give it to you for 115 and i found the throw out bearing, ill include it for free.
