So, first remove the trans and the bellhousing and seperate the two. Mount and index the bell to the motor and install them together. Then install the trans.
Why is it that you can bolt an OEM bellhousing to any motor, but you have to index the Lakewood on every block it's installed on? I can understand having to do it the first time out of the box due to production tolerances, but once it's been indexed to one FE motor, shouldn't it be good for any motor? If not, then that would mean you'd have to index ANY bellhousing, OEM or not. Just trying to make sense of it and not have to make more work for myself if it's not needed.
