Engine and trans are together. Used the lift table to position the trans.

Converter turns free, has about 3/8" clearance to flex plate. Bolted it up, all the bolts line up on the Hughes TC.

If I installed cooling lines, dip stick tube and put fluid in the trans I should be able to run the whole shebang on the stand right? Would be nice to know my rebuild on the trans is not going to make horrible grinding noises and is pumping fluid before I put it in the chassis.

Rear supports on stand seem to be working great .... I noticed there is really only about 120-150 lbs on the rear support even with the trans installed since the engine is almost balanced at the engine mounts.
