My engine came in with no damages...me and my cousin hooked it up in about 3 hrs or less... started right up and runs like a champ...I had a unique situation... all my stickers were gone off my blown engine so the people at SEW helped me pick the right one...studied the wiring harness closely and made sure shaft size was right... buy a extra pto pulley because they rust on and we had to use a pto pulley and a torch to heat it up to get it off.. I'm very happy and this was a great fix.... o yeah the engine mounting holes on the block aren't threaded so prepare to get out a tap and die set
