Overlord,
If you're working by youself, like me, put the tranny in first. Much easier and safer, working on widow makers (ramps). I put mine in less than an hour. The trans mount is slotted to allow you to set the tranny on a floor jack, start the tranny mount bolts half way in, then slide the tranny back as far as the slots allow. Plenty of room to set the motor down in. Use a couple bellhousing bolts to pull the 2 together while lining up the torque converter studs through the flexplate. This also allows you to put a couple quarts of tranny fluid in the converter without it running back into the pan and out the tail shaft at a steep angle needed to put the mated pair in a one. Also easier to install tranny lines, snug as hell once everything is in.
