The final thing was to put the engine in "for good"

Colin stopped by again in the evening and we lowered the converted S-engine into its new home. Finally it feels at home, longitudenally

As you can see there is plenty of room at the distributor - even allows servicing of cap and rotor. The engine is bolted in, starter connected, along with a few other little things.
