the trans cooler lines are sooo easy now. beings we thought it was retarded to have to try and disconnect them with the trans in the tunnel before dropping it...we cut them midway, flared them, and unioned them. Actually...one is running from the transcooler so its a hose with a hose clamp...the other one is a flare/nut. But yea you are right Jon about the whole engine tilting thing...my engine likes to tilt back however...when we dropped it in and the trans wasnt in yet, we had to put a block of wood between the oil pan and the k member. otherwise it titled backwards just a tad. and with regards to the upper bolts...its sooo much easier when its on a lift.
