WHY do you want to mountr the engine first?

That's what I thought.   

I've had good luck with mounting the rear axle first as it needs to be square with the rest of the buggy.  Then get the engine close and put a chain on it.  Throw 'er in neutral and spin it.  Adjust motor till chain stays center on the sprockets when spun both directions for at least a few minutes per go.  Then you're all set to make it permanent.

Yes,the rear axle needs to be parallel with a line drawn through the front spindles. Sooooo,to me anyway it's easier to me to make mounting the rear axle first much easier. Just me though.
