Lots of brackets and parts to clean an paint before the install of the donor engine. I won’t be using the pulley as I’ll need to use the three groove pulley that is on the original engine so I can run the AC belt.
New trans mount block and front trans seal. I’ll need to order one new u-joint bolt; the rest are OK.
The new seal in place. The front plate is still leaking out a bit of oil. There was a lot of oil and gunk in the trans lower front cover and so I can expect some leakage. It shouldn’t matter for the short time the engine/trans will be in use.
I’ve removed the four bottom bolts holding the bell housing to the engine and also the three flex plate bolts. I’m supporting the trans so I can remove the top two bolts that will leave the engine and trans connected only by the two alignment pins.
Only two bolts that need to be removed from the top so I can pull the engine separate from the trans. With this done I’m ready to pull the engine. Still waiting on an engine lift plate from Rock Auto
