Should I hook up the batter cables to the starter while the motor is out then install in the e box or should I wait until the motor is in?
Super Jet What is easier?

Oh heavens, install all that chit BEFORE you drop the motor in.
It's a piece of cake to drop the whole motor PLUS ebox into the hull. It's an absolute pain in the azz to try & assemble the ebox on top of an already installed motor.

10-4. I just hope I'm hooking everything up right.
I have feeling alignment is going to be a nice treat. Maybe

So its in and aligned correctly I hope. I guess I find out when I shred my mid shaft and drive line. Its got a 1/4 gap between the crank coupler and the rubber piece. Thats as far as I can get it to go.
I used the alignment guide in the tech section to find the correct height for my engine. After I put the damper back in and snugged the bolts I took measurements with a playing card on various spots of the coupler and it seemed to lay flat across both couplers.

Why is there more of a gap with the dampener in? That doesn't really make sense, did you not have the bolts in in the picture with the playing card?
You might need to loosen the motor mount bolts to get it back tighter, or it's possible your midshaft has slid back in the housing. Maybe someone else will chime in but something doesn't look right to me there, I think it's too much of a gap.

I'm working this weekend. I'll be home around 5:30 or 6 if that would work for you. I kind of wondered if the mag pump and drive shaft may have thrown things out of whack. Not real sure. I'm not real confident that its aligned correctly either.

everything changed in alignment when i installed my mag pump. i had to shim the entire pump down and i have heard you shouldn't put shims in the front of your pump.

The pump and the mid shaft lined perfectly. If I lay a playing card on all sides of the coupler it lays perfectly flat. I just seem to have a large gap between the rubber damper and the crankshaft coupler.
Matt is going to come over sometime this weekend and take a look at it. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong or overlooked something. Who knows. This is my first time aligning and engine so I don't really know what I'm doing.
