Swapped the transmissions today, using above described method. Took 8 hours with a friend. We first tried just using the floor jack to get in in position, after two hours doing that and failing, we had dinner and then got the thing into position in about 15 mins using the "dude-laying-under-the-car-and-bench-pressing-55-pound-transmission" method. Tomorrow I have the long list of reinstall projects to accomplish (cv boots, starter, exhaust, shifter linkage...) then I get to see if it will fire up and run right!
