No, this is as far as I've gotten. I haven't had any help at the house to push it into the garage yet.

The original problem of the motor blowing was when the Harmonic Balancer came loose it sheared the key off the driveshaft that kept the timing gear in it's place which acted like the timing chain had broken but in fact is just spun the crank seperately from the timing chain and cams. So in affect it had the same result as a broken chain but actually didn't break the chain.
