chuckbrandt Chuck jack the car up high enought that you can get under the car yourself. You need more padding on the fenders. Is the bellhousing centered to the motor? Do this before you put the motor in. Check the starter air gap with the bell housing off. It is easier to do this way. I did my motor without the trans on it. If you jack the car up enough you can slide both in but the limit on the cherry picker is the problem. Once you get the motor in the car, bolt the 2 motor mounts into place, not too tight, you need to jack up the back of the motor to put the trans in. Moving mats work the best for this. No fluid in the trans or if you have a yoke or plug for the output shaft. unless you are Kong you will need some help to slide that trans in. No tank or carb when installing. You want to hook the header pipes up while the motor is loose. You will need the trans installed before you do the headers. Tape your fender covers to the body of the car. Good luck. Rick Lake
