A few engine swap issues
Yeah, I know, its been about 5 days and im still not done, but im taking my time. I should have finished tonight if it wasnt for a couple of irritating problems:
First, I cant find the flippin' woodruff key . This will set me back like a week now and that freaking sucks. I am considering using some keystock from fastenal and grinding it down a bit to make it fit ... with some loctite of course.
Second, the transmission is not engaged apparantly ... doh! I realized this tonight when I tried to turn the engine a bit using the wheels (in first gear), but the engine was not turning. When installing engine, it slipped most of the way onto the transmission easily and then I used the bolts to pull it the last 1/2 inch together and it wiggled together like normal ... wtf?
Anyway, if anyone has some suggestions on making these headaches go away soon, please fill me in.

Ok :gay: got under the car and spun a wheel. sigh of relief when i remembered that the 90 has an open diff and the other rear wheel was spinning in the opposite direction lol
Still need a woodruff key and can only blame myself for that one.
So where can i get a replacement for this thing? I am willing to pay overnight if i can get it to my place to work on the car for sunday. ... hurry i need answers
