Here is my mega description on how to install an engine on a Schwinn Jaguar.
Note: Click all images for much bigger ones.
First thing I did was make sure the bike was built correctly and make sure everything was nice and tight.
After that I sized up the engine by sitting it in different positions until I found the one I liked. I ended up taking off the bikes chain guard so I could get the engine to sit nice.
The only other problem was the front studs were too short and as you can see I could barely get the nuts on.
So I went on a mission to find an all thread rod that was M6X1.0. I tried Home Depot and they had rods but none were metric So I tried Lowes, Advanced Auto, Pep Boys, Auto Zone.... No one had metric. So I searched online and found a great site.
Fastener Mart
Here is what I bought from them.

These lock nuts kick ass! It is tough getting them on so no way they are coming off

While I was waiting for my parts I found a great PDF file that guides you step by step through the building process.

When my parts arrived I began by cutting the all thread rod. I cut 2 pieces 2 and a quarter inches and they worked perfectly for the front studs. To remove the old studs I put one nut half way on the stud and then tightened another nut to the first nut then I just began turning the first nut to loosen it and the stud began coming out.
When I mounted the engine I used the factory nuts and then the lock nuts I purchased.
