Starting it without a transmission in it is not a good idea. Wait till you have it all bolted up a supported properly. The motor mount keep the motor from twisting and the trans and trans mount keep the motor from tilting. If you have our exhaust bolted up it really would not take much to damage something.

the motor is supported with 2 big *** straps to keep it from falling backwards

good advice

since you drop engines I don't know why one would put an engine back in without the tranny

to OP

did you do this from the bottom? (no sexual innuendo there either)
