New engine sitting in engine bay. A few bolts tight, but then I wore out.
So, several things. Take the hood off. And, take the motor mounts off. The flex plate has to line up with the studs on torque converter. What a stupid design. Once bellhousing and motor Are attached and still on lift, reattached the motor mounts, through the fender wells. This will cause you less pain and suffering. In fact, removing the plastic fenderwells is highly recommended.

After they are back on it will sit down in its mounts and the rest is putting bolts in. I also left the exhaust manifolds off. This may come back to haunt me, but I will see. I figure I can get to the bolts through the fenderwells too.
