Thank you very much for your input, yes you are right, they did use bravo's on that motor along with other and better options. So this is waht I found out today, first there's always a 1st time. When I removed the drive before installing the engine I did it in my back yard on a slopping grade and I removed it alone. Well, on the way out the ujoints must've clipped the bellows sleeve and pulled it out about a 1-1/2" on one side so upon attempting to do the install, drive would not go in all the way. Boy did I feel stupid but you live & learn everyday, thank again I appreciate this site and the members opinions!!

So if you fix the bellows is everything going to be alright ?
