Just ordered the pilot bearing.

Pulled the transmission out of the car today and sorta cleaned 15 lbs of grease and dirt off it, had to disassemble the CV inners to plug back into the transmission because it's gona be sitting 'open' for awhile.

Transmission is sitting on the back of the engine right now, waiting for me to get a piece of steel or alum and make an adapter plate for it.

Looking at the clock angle the engine is supposed to be installed, I'm not really positive it's even going to fit... But that's why I got the nickname 'Thor'
