You mean yo tell me that something like a ratcheting box wrench can’t get at and tighten up those bolts from the trans to the bell housing?
I have bought long cheap regular box wrenches and heated and bent them to clear stuff.

On one T bird I bent up 3 of them to different shapes to get on thru headers on a FE and tighten up stuff.

They don’t need to be good super quality steel either since that makes them easier to bend besides being cheap!
As mentioned, having the engine tilter is paramount to you getting this install done regardless of how many folks you have around to help!

I got lucky and did not have to cut the tunnel to fit the trans but…with that comes zero clearance for getting to anything!
