the rear of the motor is leaning upward...i need to cut the top of the firewall a lil bit more so it can sit level and more clearance for the intake manifold...after i cut that imma mount the tranny to line everything up...got motor mount and crossmember for tranny built 2 weeks ago...but that was with only a bare block and tranny...now the whole engine assembly goes in...and i have to cut more then i thought...

Looks like what I do when I have to get under the car. I make sure I have atleast 5 things holding it up in place before getting under her.
