Time For a rebuild

Another way is to drop the Alter-K-Tion, Mount the engine and trans to the Alter-K-Tion, and then lower the car over the engine and trans. Your engine hoist can easily lift the front of the car since there is not engine or suspension it is not that heavy. No engine transmission alignment issues to deal with, simply line up the four bolts for the K member than bolt in the trans cross member.

Obviously the above suggestion means taking apart a lot that you just put together. :( But with that motor being as tight as it is in the engine bay it might be the way to go.

Pull the steering column to make it even easier.

I "THINK" (only about 70% sure) you can even mount the headers to the motor before you drop it in.

Just some thoughts let us know how it goes.
