Engine number 2 is now in the car thanks to Matt(Dr. Fishbone).
I have two issues though.
1) A high Idle. It smelled rich also so I assumed vacuum leak. Searched the car and all hoses appear to be connected properly. Clutch in it is idling 750-800, clutch out it goes to 1100-1200. Which brings up problem number 2.
2) Clutch out there is a rattling noise. Clutch in or even slight pressure on the pedal and it goes away. Engine and trans were dropped in as a unit so I know the alignment is correct. Not sure why this issue is there. It was same parts off the old engine where it did not do this. I did have to replace the clutch line therefore needed to bleed the system. It is not bled perfectly but is acceptable to drive the car. Amazingly leaving the car in the garage with the nose up seemed to help the air bubbles come out. Prior to today the clutch would engaged as soon as you started to let the pedal out. Today clutch is grabbing 1/4-1/3 way up the pedal.
Data log of a drive around the block shows a perfect lambse of 14.64 and kamrf of 1. So I think I can rule out vacuum leak on the idle. Other suggestions?
