Hit a fun milestone and finally stabbed the motor/tranny in the truck complete with before and after shots, haha. Here she is ready to mate up to the 700R4. Notice the lack of sunlight in the after shot...longest transplant I've ever done!
I finally got it in at the end of the night. The motor mounts gave me plenty of trouble. The new rubber side of the mounts did not want to fit over the clam shells. The rubber inserts of the frame side mounts just needed to slide up inside the shell, and the engine dropped down and bolted up. I've never ran into that before. I guess I'm lucky this is the first time installing new mounts that I have not encountered this before.
