If you think the C-Beam is hard to install
Try installing the transmission dipstick tube after the transmission is in place.
That tube made the c-beam seem like a real simple job.

Been there, done that. Makes you really kick yourself for not popping the thing in when the tranny is being positioned. Good luck.

I got it, but I had to work it for quite awhile. lowering the rear and raising it several times etc. To be honest, putting this car back together is really taking alot longer then I thought it would. The motor dropped right in, but getting all the wiring back etc. is taking alot of time.

I love it when I spend an Hr looking for a bolt I misplaced.

But after four tranny R&R's in as many months, it's really quite simple.

the acces to wiring and such is GREATLY appreciated

I don't have a dizzy Member? LSX 
I think part of the problem is the 1" setback mount i used my Engina is 1" closer to the firewall.
