Yesterday I bolted the engine and transmission together. Today my wife and I installed them into the car. Everything went well. I still need to drill the holes for the transmission mount. Since it is a convertible that isn't going to be easy. Now would be a nice time to have a lift. My wife told me to get one. Currently I have parts of this car scattered through-out both of my buildings. I don't have room for a lift now. Maybe soon.
This what the transmission mount looks like.

Since I used 3/4 inch forward engine mounts I will have to make a spacer and longer bolts for the transmission mount. But the HEI distributor fits okay.
Also because the engine is forward I may be able to use a traditional trans dipstick tube after all. I checked the inventory on my engine/transmission rack. I have a TH 350 and that dipstick looks about right. I just have to uncover it and see.
