Well as far as the install is concerned it was very easy, We just removed the original V6 mounts from the frame. Installed 2nd gen frame mounts and clamshell mounts on the engine. Bolted up an adapter plate and 700r4 transmission, and then slid the whole Assembly in the hole. We then installed the original crossmember, bolted to the transmission mount, And installed the original driveshaft. Then did a bit of forward/aft adjustment to get good yoke engagement (trans mount is slotted so allows for 1 or 2 inch adjustment) And then made some minor tweaks side to side to get good clearance around the oil filter and exhaust manifolds, then we tacked the mounts in place and that was it. All in all from removing the blown v6 to having the Pontiac sitting in place was maybe 4 hours.
