Glad the engine made it to you safely!
The Forgotten 35 was packed just like your engine (poorly), and the box was quite smashed. I was very nervous when I unpacked it and at first it appeared unhurt, but I later noticed that it must have taken a hit on the flywheel and it bent the main bearing bracket in just a bit. It was easily bent back into its proper position and you’d never know it was bent at all now.

I am amazed that your engine is nickel plated! Those eBay pics sure had me convinced it was a brass version!
