I bought this book 8 months ago,after I purchased my first 200r4 from a salvage yard,so I could be familiar with it.
It has some good information along with a lot of pictures,and step by step.
I actually just started reading it,but can tell it was worth buying it.so,if someone needs some information let me know.

Yea,I cut my fronts 3/4 also,so I don’t have a big gap,and also finally got those torque thrust wheels to fit,replacing the wheel bearings now on front and fit those wheels on and see how it sits.

It's installed, added a drain plug to the new trans pan, connected everything, I had to start it 6-7 times to get the fluid to pump through the system with 10 second starts, I only had two gallons and one quart of fluid so still need about 3 quarts to finish... all appears good and no leaks anywhere, I have a pressure gauge hooked up and idles at about 50 psi @1000 rpms in park... I know I'm looking for closer to 90psi, I'm assuming I can adjust that on the TV cable after I fill it to appropriate level?

Yes.
I recommend finish filling first, but then.....
Set your idle to 1000 rpm and tweak the TV cable so it reads 90 PSIG. Then Lower the idle back down.... tell us your pressure but it shouldn't matter much as long as it's not too low.
Hopefully you got to observe the TV Cable/Slug travel while you had the pan off to ensure it travels fully.
