Loosen all bellhousing bolts without removing them,then try turning the motor. If it turns over thats what it will be. You will have to remove motor again to relocate torque converter into auto correctly.

Hi mate was the motor out of an auto or was it a manual! cause if it was a manual thiers a spigot bearing that needs to be removed first.

Also, if it was a Manual, the Flywheel will have to have been replaced by a Flexi Plate

If it's an auto you need a Flexi Plate . a Flywheel will not work. The Torque Converter acts as a flywheel amongst other things

Hang on a minute, he is not just calling the flexi plate a flywheel is he! OP are you bolting the torque convertor to this so called flywheel!

You can not mate a Auto Trans up to a Fly wheel. It won't work. Plain as simple

He did say the engine was originally out of a manual.

no i said it could be out of a manual so the flywheel must be what u call a flexi plate im bolting it to the torque convertor sorry

So four bolt holes! From memory you do them up from the Starter motor hole, don't think the EA's had the cut out at the bottom to do them up.
Is the trans still in the car or out!
johdoe,
Jan 24, 2:09am
will the torque convertor turn free before the motor is bolted to it eazy as
johdoe,
Jan 24, 2:10am

Silly question, do you have all the gear linkages etc connected and car in Park/Neutral! Can you push the car back and forwards! (I assume trans is still in car and Driveshaft etc bolted up)
johdoe,
