I plan to have the engine on its side (timing case down) and lower the frame over it with the engine cradle fitted to the rear Iso... Now reviewing a couple of you tube videos they say the gearbox needs to be installed in the cradle before hand as you cant get it in after fitting the engine??
Now Section D7 in the shop manual says you can .... so I'm confused. Mine is a 72 pre combat with the standard breather housing fitted to the crankcase lower back

Thank you

it will go in IF you remove the middle and bottom engine to cradle bolts and let it hinge down. you also have to have the breather ass. off. another common mod is to notch the cradle in the top rear corner enough to fit the trans with all the engine bolts in place but again the 72 type breather has to be removed . also it will not fit with the counter shaft sprocket on.
