Jerry can definitely help - he and I talked quite a bit about the best way to get my PS system connected. If you do need any advice as far as fabricating PS hoses (using the gas engine's hoses as cores is possible, too), let me know as I've been through all that.

Ha ha, no really. I thought i had the mount issue all wrapped up but i have removed this engine 4 times with different people and i cannot seem to get both sets of mounts to line up. I can bolt in one side of the engine, but the other side seems to be too low, the holes on the engine/pad side sit about a half inch or so below the holes on the frame pad side. WTF?

The other side is bolted in...?

YOUR MOTOR MOUNT CUSHIONS ARE COLLAPSED BUT YOU CAN PROB, STILL USE THEM LIFT THE ENG UP LEAVING THE BOLTS IN THE ONE SIDE BUT BACK THE NUTS OFF UNTILL THEY ARE ONLY ON THE BOLTS BY ABOUT 1/8 TH INCH, AND LOWER THE SIDE THAT DOSENT WANT TO FIT DOWN JUST ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN GET A ROUND PRY BAR ITO THE HOLES AND PRY THE CUSHION DOWN ENOUGH TO GET THE BOLTS IN AND A NUT STARTED ON AND THEN LET THE ENG DOWN AND THEY WILL LINE UP, UNLESS THE BRACKET ON THE CUSHION IS BENT THEY SHOULD GO.
