are you sure that you did not put the shifter in backwards?

no i did not put the shifter in backwards the whole transmission is to far forward. the drive shaft dose not reach the transmission

take a picture of how the engine is sitting, but it sounds like its way to far foward if u cant reach the driveshaft

my motor seems to be sitting in the right position but the top rad hose dosn't reach the radiator, i just don't know how it could be in there sideways, or to far forward the motor mounts bolted right up
