Made some progress! This motor seems larger than when i took it out. It's tight quarters in there. I tried lots of different angles.

Each time (3 in total) I got pretty close, but could never get everything to line up and seat nicely. I got down to about a half an inch of gap in this area on my best attempt.
So, I figure the best way to put it back in .. is the way I took it out.

I ended up having to take down the cross member, control arms, etc to get things moving in the right direction.
And she's finally seated!

I've got some leaks to chase - power steering fluid from the rack, and coolant from the large hose exiting the water pump. The car will start and run/rev, but die at idle. It's open-headered at the moment.
I see the oil pressure gauge peg at 5 bar while it runs .. I'm not sure if that's what I'm supposed to see, but I caught a post suggesting I swap the leads at the sensor, so I'll try that.
I saw this example, which keeps me motivated:

Gross.
I took some time to address leaks at the power steering pump (I forgot a crush washer) and water pump (worm clamp wasn't on straight) so now I'm try as a bone.
It was time to bleed the power steering, but alas -- this car doesn't have a key. So I called around to find a locksmith who might be able to fabricate one. I got two "No thanks," one "That'll be $275 because of the 'rarity'" and one "Sure man, I love those - hundred bucks. Does it run?"
So I'll meet that guy tomorrow and have a key made - finally I'll be able to unlock the column and re-assemble the ignition components. I've been using a flathead screwdriver in the switch that we've removed from the back of the key cylinder.
Oh, right - brakes.
Now we're talkin'. I do like it tidy.

This is the nasty gas that was in the tank.

Gross.
I took some time to address leaks at the power steering pump (I forgot a crush washer) and water pump (worm clamp wasn't on straight) so now I'm try as a bone.
It was time to bleed the power steering, but alas -- this car doesn't have a key. So I called around to find a locksmith who might be able to fabricate one. I got two "No thanks," one "That'll be $275 because of the 'rarity'" and one "Sure man, I love those - hundred bucks. Does it run?"
So I'll meet that guy tomorrow and have a key made - finally I'll be able to unlock the column and re-assemble the ignition components. I've been using a flathead screwdriver in the switch that we've removed from the back of the key cylinder.
Oh, right - brakes.
Now we're talkin'. I do like it tidy.
