After staring at the frame for half an hour yesterday wondering if I should do it the hard way. I put the engine next to the frame (wheels and tires on) with the head off and stuffed the motor in the frame. Gearbox was loosely fit in the cradle before I started. Supposed to install the motor and gearbox as a unit. No thanks. The engine would have fit with the head on it, but it would have been a lot of shenanigans dealing with the weight, and I didn't feel like pulling it out and starting over. I used a rolling transmission jack to scoot the motor over next to the frame. Used my son to help me balance the motor on the trans jack prior to moving it into the frame and while it was on the floor jack under the frame when I was installing mounting bolts. I can't see the paint under the motor but I'm sure it got scratched some.
I finished up the head install next day. Removed the exhaust rockers and rubber banded the push rods up in the head to make the job slightly tolerable. Screwed up on seating the last exhaust rocker I put back in. Noticed something was way off when doing the valve adjust. Hope I didn't bend a valve. I wasn't forcing anything, but it locked up a little. Might have been the odd angle of the ball of the rocker against the side of the cup. I could have sworn it was in place. Oh well, I guess I'll know if the exhaust valve is tweaked when I start kicking it over.
Side note: As it turned out there really is not enough room to install the cNw breather on the back of the driver side case where it is supposed to work better. The two cross members in the frame that the middle of the cradle mounts to are in the way in the P11 frame. So it will remain at the back of the timing side. It quacks a lot louder than it did previously turning it over slowly by hand. More compression and bigger holes into the case on the timing side.

Pushrods test. They stick up way too high to get the head under the downtube.

Getting there. Should be running in 4 or 5 days if I didn't bend a valve.
