In the long run you'll save yourself a lot of frustration by pulling it and taking the time to ensure the belhousing is properly aligned. With the belhousing already attached, dropping the engine in is super easy and you don't have to try and jockey the engine and transmission around while trying to mate them....I've been in situations where mating the belhousing/tranny to the engine was like getting a grizzly and a polar bear together....DNA has proven it can work, but I'm sure plenty have died trying.

If I do pull the Lakewood bell off the trans, will I need to chop the bottom section off like some people do to install it with the bell on the motor?
