I sat the tranny on the tailgate of my truck, swung the motor into to and bolted it. Rebalanced the chain, swung it into the engine bay, putting the tailshaft on a floorjack. Sat on the mounts, jack up the tailshaft and bolted the crossmember, then bolted the mounts.

unhooked the chain, stepped back and thought "I cant believe i actually did it without hurting myself"
