Default Re: Any Tips for Installing a Trans?

Make sure the bellhousing and flex plate match up. They come from the same place so they should. I learned that the hard way my first time - everything installed and the starter wouldn't engage the flex plate. Had to get a different bellhousing. Test fit the headers on the stand to make sure the spark plugs will go in. I don't know if AFR moved the plugs on that head. On my Falcon I always put in the headers after the engine and trans are in from underneath. Rocking the engine from one side then the other if needed.
