I was given a 1994 Isuzu Trooper

Technically true, but I'd check the flywheel to make sure everything is secure and that there isn't a clutch or a torque converter left unsecured.

IF YOU TRY TO START THE ENGINE. FASTEN THE ENGINE DOWN THE TORQUE WILL MOVE THE ENGINE. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO START THE ENGINE. MAYBE CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE OR THE ENGINE BAY.
