Hi Rebel911, I know it just seems like more work to pull the tranny (disconnect the axels, throutle linkage, shift linkage, etc) but you will be glad you did after a few trial fits.

Once you can slide the whole package forward into the shift tunnel, you may be able to lift the engine up and pull it back. You may find that your water outlet will clear after the engine rises to the final position. I also agree with lin7310948, I took the intake and TB off before fitting the engine/tranny package. It gives you a lot more wiggle room.

For me, I didn't have to modify anything to make the package fit. There were two sets of mounting holes for the tranny cross member, I used the set closest to the front of the car and everything fit. Its tight between the water outlets and the rear cross member (1/2 inch), but it all fit with any metal cutting!

Good luck and keep the pictures coming. Mike
