That's not the right way to present an email address. I wiggled it around and forwarded. If you get the pictures, just for laughs, see if you can post them.

All I can see is a little blue box with a white background. Hope they help you. It makes nesting an engine back in a car against the transmission a piece of cake.

The manifold bolts are longer with short sleeves on them. The flat stock hanging on the chain hooks has a hole bigger than the sleeve. This lets the engine rotate up/down in the front with no more effort than required with an index finger and thumb. Depending on the dress of the engine determines where/which bolts you use for zero balance. The spreader bar at the top keeps the chains off the valve covers and intake along with keeping the engine level side/side so it's easy to hit the dowels in the block to the bell housing.

Good evening gents,
Just finished. Took my time and had a few delays with parts, tools.
Thanks to Jerry Bramlett for a tool loaner.

A couple of observations to pass along.
This job was not as hard as what I read. I rate it 7.5 of 10.
1 - Exhaust on both sides MUST be be removed. Much more needed room to maneuver.
2 - You can remove and install the tranny with the bell housing on the car, to do so you need extra helper.. I did it twice. I didn't align the clutch plate with pilot bush the first time. It's a tight fit but it can be done.
3 - On initial install using the "jackknife method" it went together no problem, no need to jackknife anything. Extra helper required.
4 - Make sure to attach the speedometer cable once you get the tranny bolted on the bell housing, if you forget as I did it a bitch to install back with everything installed.

Thanks
