ok so i transferred all my stuff from my old engine and i find that the flywheel turns seperately from the end of the crankshaft, is this normal cause when i put it on the truck it doesn't turn the engine its just the flywheel that turns and doesn't turn the other end ,
 
Remove the engine from the car and tighten the flywheel nut. You might have to lock the crankshaft in order to do this. You can use a piston locking tool, stick a zip tie in the exhaust port, or stick a hard plastic rod such as a toothbrush handle in the carb hole to prevent the crankshaft from turning. If you are still unable to turn the crankshaft after tightening the flywheel nut, the flywheel collet may be too small.
