Yeah, For some reason I thought it was an auto too. Sorry about that. Try taking all the adjustment out of the clutch and slide the fork back as far as it will go. (that's pushing the end of the fork sticking out of the trans towards the front of the truck) Can you turn the engine then? Also, take the clutch fork boot off and shine a light in there to see what's going on. There's not much in there that can mess you up. I bet it's something simple. Good luck. Holler if you need a hand.

Looks like Ches has a broken clutch fork tab, I am bringing him another fork, but not till next Sunday. And I'll get my car headers back.
And maybe some surprise parts will be in the back of the truck?

So got the engine back in Again and the PP bolts still hit the clutch fork!
Then I figured it out!
Wrong flywheel and clutch kit. So At 8:15 we started pulling the engine out Again, changed the fly wheel and clutch had it back in the truck at 9:30 When Ryan's wife said it was time to call it a night. Still need a few thing hooked up before we can try to start it again! But it turns over buy hand!

At least you figured out and you'll get it going tomorrow? Since when does the "wife" run the shop?
