Question:

Ive never mated a trans and motor together on a bench, only in the car. And on the car everytime ive just slid the converter into the trans, and then bolted up the trans to the block and tightened up the converter bolts threw were the starter bolts up. Since its on the floor and everything will be more open, would it be easier to bolt the converter up to the flexplate prior to bolting the trans to the motor? Or would there be no way to properly "seat" the converter on the input shaft that way.
