I dun tolja and dun tolja and dun tolja how to do that.
Go buy two long bolts same oh thread as the bellhousing bolts and cut off the heads. Thread in lower bellhousing bolt holes. You now have alignment dowels for the tranny to engine long enough to do you some good...

yeah yeah yeah... At that point I was pretty tired and about to hit the floor.
Got a fresh start in the morning..Once pulling the engine and putting it back in fresh we got it to fall right into place.
I'll let Larry take his thread back over again - But I will say the engine runs GREAT. I'll post up it's first start tomorrow..

Yep. It runs perfect. Have a slight coolant leak that I'll be taking care of. The trans burped fluid out its rear seal because I was revving it pretty high while Brendan was adding the fluid to it. Perhaps too quickly combined with the high RPM's, I dunno. Doesn't really matter at this point, because that doesn't appear to be leaking anymore. I have quite a few parts on order from Mitsu that'll be in later this week. I'll be busy with work most nights this week and next with Sunday being my only day off. So, it'll likely be Labor day weekend before I get it all done and ready to drive. Got a heap of pictures but I'm tired and I'll post them later...
Tons o' thanks to Brendan for coming down and helping soooo much on this. He took all of my eccentricity in stride. Hard worker, fast and thorough too...

You're welcome! You built a good engine. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I think Lisa might have put some Speed in my iced tea though. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Here's the first start: Video Next start after it got up to temperature and the new HLAs quieted down.

Got the coolant leak stopped. Trans fluid level has stabilized so no more leaky-deaky. Have a metric sh!t ton of loose ends to tie up before I put it back on the road again. I know I said I'd post pics. I lied. Been busy. I'll get them up soon...
Goal is to make it to HallowHarrie...
