K.. Trans is back in the car.. took bout 80 minutes alone and figuring how to do it safe 
nothing hooked up yet though.. I will say.. whoever posted bout using ratchet straps on the torsion bars to get the trans on the floor jack is a damn genius....
I also kept re-adjusting the straps as i lifted the trans so it couldn't fall if it wanted to... it took sooo much stress off getting it in.. Took bout 15 mins longer than it should have, i couldn't get the right angle between the motor and trans... need 1 more jack.. Will get all the stuff hooked up soon and hopefully fire it up again in a few days
