learn from others fu#k ups

I had all the LH lugs swapped to RH lugs ~just in case~.....

Also, make sure the starter wires aren't touching the exhaust pipe. I discovered what the fusible link's purpose was. Smoke?? SMOKE?? SMMOOOOKKE??? FIRE!! ack! Thank God I have a quick disconnect battery terminal!

Also make sure that you properly engage the torque converter's lugs with the trans' oil pump drive dogs. Had mine move forward just enough during the engine/trans bolt-up and it promptly wiped out the oil pump drive on the trans. sigh......
