Re: putting it back together
That guy puts out some great advice for anyone putting a converter in.
One thing I have found that saves a lot of fighting with the trans trying to get it connected to the block is to use a couple of longer (several inches) bolts in the two bottom bellhousing bolt holes as guides. I usually get the trans up close and run the bolts in and then slide the trans forward, get it up tight to the block and put the rest of the bolts in. A couple of guys have said that they cut the ends off a pair of bolts and cut a screw driver slot in the end to back them out and just slide the belhousing over them. Either way it saves a fight when you put them together.
