Hi Mate
I understand your woes, it took me several tries (read days!) with and without help to match up my g/box to the motor.
What I ended up doing was leaving the engine mounted to the chassis and using the hoist on the g/box for easier maneuverability.
With mine I could get the housing about 1-2" away from the motor but it would just not go in properly.
It turned out that when I had secured the engine with ratchet straps before I removed the box one must have not been tight as the motor had rocked forward slightly so it was not completely level.
I let the ratchet strap loose a couple of notches and it literally glided home.
This was with no one else "Helping"
So basically its got to be straight n level even if it looks level which mind did try adjusting the angle of the motor slightly
Good luck
Cheers for all the words guys & info.
Trying to contact Walker as its pouring where I am so not the best day to fit the engine...
My offer still stands if you want the help :cool:, But not this weekend as im up the high country:pQuote:

Like the other times it was close, but no go.
Using chains - will swap for straps - will try to located rangie in better position as the ground has a small slope - will get it up on axle stands as well.
Rangieman :) always welcome mate ;) but yeah this weekend I am also racing RC off road cars lol I'd take you up on the offer any time.
