Hi all, 
this is my first post on this forum, which is great, so much info.
 
Anyway, I've recently dropped an A14 into my 69 4 door 1000 sedan,
which has been sitting for about 12 months, I bolted it up to the stock 4 speed, using the a10 flywheel and clutch, (clutch was new when I bought the car and didn't do many km)
 
the problem I have now is that when I first went to drive away the rear brakes are locked on and and now I can't seem to take it out of gear, even without the engine running, I know the clutch is disengaging because I can't start it without it lurching forward, 
I was thinking that with the rear brakes locked on, it's loaded up the tranny through the driveshaft and its stopping me from shifting.
 
has anyone experienced anything like this after doing an engine c/o?
 
cheers,
Newbs

Yeah it's weird, it was shifting fine till went to move it, i had it parked in the shed of a rental but we'd moved up the road, so I had to vacate, I ended up getting the missus to tow me home, which is when I noticed the brakes locking up, probably something to do with the 400m long skid up the street.
 
At least I can say to my mate it's done longer skids than his turbo VZ ute :p

Spacer plate?? Neil, when I first put it in, the input shaft was too long, It wouldn't turn over because it had thrusted the crank, so I dropped the box and shortened the shaft by 10mm which allowed the engine to turn over easily.
 
Is it possible it needs to be shortened a bit more?

Welcome, Newbs... 
 
"Wendy's" got big cubes... nice car that one.... 
 
 
odd that it starts without moving though???

I've put 12 and up flywheels in thou boxes before, you need to chamfer the corner off them, to make it fit in the box, and bearing carrier needs to have a sleve to fit the bigger bearing.. but can be done, 
non of these sound like the issue if the motor runs without driving off???

Or I've actually done some damage to the trans internals when I first put put the motor in, either way, I'll have to take the box out and strip it down to make sure
