so I pretty much came to realize that when it comes to big parts replacements it's a three day love affair:

Day 1 - disassembly and removal

Day 2 - tinkering and chasing parts

Day 3 - reassembly and installation

So today was Day 2, this means usually lots of hours spent working with not much to show for.

I learned that GM likes to make two different bell housings, ones for trucks and ones for cars, the truck ones have a slightly larger input shaft housing hole, my transmission came off of a car so although I could bolt it up to a truck bell housing it wouldn't be wise as the smaller input shaft housings would not properly center the trans on the bell

so off with the car input shaft housing
