Well, you might have thought I died. nope. Just got stupidly busy with family B.S., the Holidays, and vacation.

So last night I mated the two parts. The engine's crankshaft and the Transmission's input shaft are collinear - it took a long time to get them just where I wanted and get the holes reamed to the correct size. I'm not sure that it's perfect, but I feel very confident that it'll work (for a while, maybe a short while maybe a long while).
