Anthony...I am hoping to not feel that pain. Appreciate the kind words sick 4dr. Well me and Curtis spent a **** load of time tonight getting the bellhousing in alignment. It was setting right at .015 with the stock dowels. The best we could do with the offset dowels was .006. We found that about a inch of the bellhousing was rough enough to really sway our readings. The spec is .005 so we figure it's closer than most and basically it amounts to .0005 out of spec due to the circumfrance. So we spent 2 hours screwing with the dowels and runout and 15 minutes installing the engine. Gotta love it. Here she is boys. Fits nice.

Looks sweet. Thanks for the motivation.

Whose front accessory system is that? It does not look quite like the vintage air.
