Now that we changed your mind, there is one more thing that will ease the transmission installation. It is NOT my idea, it is Pat's.

He bolts 2 or 4 (3"-4 ") bolts onto the transmission mounting holes on the engine. These are nothing more than grade 5 bolts with their heads removed. They are in place finger tight, and it makes alignment of the transmission that much easier, so you don't have to wrestle with it.

They act like alignment dowels, providing guidance and alignment for the two together.
