Sterling,
Easiest way is to bolt gearbox to engine and put that in, then bolt up extractors. You'll just be making things really hard for yourself if you try to fit them to motor before slipping it in engine bay. I doubt it even do-able with brake booster sitting where it does. Rhys

no i test fitted it, it looks like it will fit without hitting the brake booster. cuz the extractors were from a stock mk2 rs2000
but what are you saying? take the gearbox out and put the engine and box in together? |

on another note, i test fitted the 2.0 engine a while back and it will fit but it cannot be put in with the alternator, that has to be put in after the engine in.

engine and gearbox is easier to go in together.
keep extractors off, cos you need all the room you can get.

bloody pain the ***.. the hard part is getting it all aligned, as well as getting to some of the bolts on the bellhousing can be hard.
