This has been a project that's been taking WAY too long...

A while back my H23 in my 92 Prelude blew, so I bought a H22 longblock and started disassembling both motors to make an H23 VTEC. My Nissan friend w/ a shop was gonna help me, but he told me to drop the old block through the bottom, in the meantime. So I unbolted it and started pullin it apart from the tranny, and it got turned to the front a bit, like it's rotated.

I figured out that pullin it out through the bottom and doin it w/o the tranny's a no-go, so I am tryin to get the motor back together w/ the tranny while it's all in the engine bay. I got it rotated back almost the correct way, but it doesn't wanna go back into the tranny. There's these tube-things on the engine that fit into the tranny, if you know what I mean.

What's the easiest way of puttin it back together???

I'll try to get pics if I can.

 

just get a engine lift. It is alot easier to put the engine and tranny together on the ground.

I have a lift/hoist. That's the thing. The motor's wedged in there so I can't really move it around and I can't get it together w/ the tranny again. I want them bolted
together before I try to pull it all out.

 

why put them back together just pull the tranny out the bottom and motor out the top? im confused as to what your saying

oh dear, it's so simple, it's impossible for me to think of!

I was just stuck on the idea of pullin it all through the top....

I'll just let the tranny drop down w/ the motor some, get the motor pointed in the right direction, and pull it through the top! Thanks! at least till I try it

 

sounds like your makin sucha simple task hard as fuuuuu
