I've spent the last few months dealing with parts. First getting a pair of matching motormounts for the engine.Before it was over I had three passenger side mounts and no drivers aside mounts. This whole process ate up the month of March.Next when I went to attach the motor to the transmission the engine would sieze up when the transmission housing was torque tight. Two weeks later with lots of online help, I discovered they torque converter shaft was too big in diameter to fit the pilot bearing in the rear of the crank shaft. So next I returned the torque converter and exchanged it for the right one which fits perfectly and is finally permanently in place, I hope! In the mean time my neighbor Mike and I did a few dry fit tests with the new motor mounts and the engine with tranny attached. Come to find we had to cut out the old transmission crossmember, leaving enough for the brake booster to bolt too, but clearing the center section which was too narrow to accomadate the C6 transmission forcing the engine to stay too far foward. Hopefully next weekend we will once again try to get it into place!
