Spent 3 hrs fighting trying to get the transmission that last 3/4" up to the motor.

POS harbor freight tranny jack didn't help either, had to relocate the tranny bc it wouln't tip back far enough, and of loose as a goose.

Basically got the alignment guide pin's chamfered ends started into the holes but thats as far as i could go.

Hate to say but ended up using the bell housing bolts to pull it all the way up.

Didn't have any resistance on the bolts and torqued them back and forth evenly so hopefully gonna be okay.

Installed my JWT Popcharger Saturday.

No noticeable difference in performance or sound (not Dyno-testing).

Had gaugecraft do the gauge panels, did the install myself. Bob is great. Been working with him to get the TPMS sensors working. Found out the relay is in the main gauge panel. Amazing service!
