Thanks for everyone's input!


The only suggestion so far that I haven't tried is the using the extra long bolts to guide everything together. I am using the tranny jack, load leveler, removing the bellhousing stiffners, using the correct clutch alignment tool,removing the lower half of the motor mounts, and I have one stud for my starter instead of using two like was suggested.

That leaves me to one last question... When everything is aligned like it is supposed to be, will the bellhouse and block go together snug or do I need to use the bolts to snug them together. It seems the last couple of times I've done this, things slide together within 1/4 inch or so, then use the bolts to snug everything up.

The biggest help so far has been the load leveler for others future reference.
