Fitting an engine into a Nippy is no easy task alone, the deep sump and lack of bulkhead clearance around the flywheel makes it extremely tight, I would suggest that you might be sensible to arrange an assistant. I have done it with a gearbox attached but find it easier to strap the gearbox as far back in the car as possible, get the engine in place on the rails, then bolt the box onto the back of the engine before you finally bolt everything down hard. Just gives you a little more wriggle room and saves lots of cursing I find.....well still some cursing but less!
