tranny advice and engine mounts

Before; in the econo delivery vehicle...

And now: the "shiny" rebuilt tranny assembled to the torque converter (tc) (btw chevy t.c. slide down the input shaft x3 bumps to be seated , otherwise they don't seal and the vehicle won't move :O
The powerplant

Ready, aim....
Even with those antique 31's flattened the Commando is muy tall to get the
powerplant over and into. Removing the grill and radiator support would make life easier.

It's the little things that will kill you in life. Not only is the hoist maxed out but measuring the engine hoist reach is pretty important too.  Note the lack of bumper clearance near the ram.

Bumper removed and twisted into position

The stock location for the crossmember is a wee bit off.  It needs to come forward almost
its full width.
