I'm taking a break to update the installation. As of about 3PM the engine was in the car and attached to the tranny. I had nothing but a come-along and chain to do it. I installed the tranny by hand by hoisting the front with some wire and then lifting the end and using wood blocks, block by block. After the tranny was up I then lowered the engine in. I used a bottle jack to level out the tranny to engine. I'm right now looking at photos in the Haynes manual to try to figure out which tranny line goes where. They are kind of bent up so figuring which is which is a little frustrating. Also one of engine mount bolts is missing. It's feeling like a puzzle since I have to try to figure out where are all pieces go and try to locate all the fasteners. I wouldn't have this trouble if I had been the one who took it apart. I have to start making a list of what's missing as I go.
