    Cant find the torque setting for the bolts that attach the bell housing to the engine.
    There are
    (2) 17mm bolts
    (4) 13 mm bolts
    (5) e10 torx bolts

    Torqued 47 ft/lbs on all the 17mm bolts , 2 on the tranny and 3 on the torque converter to the plate. 31 ft/lbs on the 13mm and torx bolts. I pray this is correct. Can still re-torque them it this is incorrect. Tomorrow I will finish hooking up the plumbing and install the exhaust. I spoke with Kirt and he said the secret to a successful installation is to make sure as you draw up the bell-housing to the engine you do it evenly and frequently spin the torque converter by hand. With the drive-shaft off this was easy. He said you want the torque converter to stay in the transmission until the bell-housing is tighten to the engine. Then you want to check to see if you have about 1/8" clearance between the torque converter and the plate. Once you have insured the clearance then install the three plate to the torque converter bolts. This will pull the torque converter out or away from the transmission and to the converter. Following this process will insure you don't jamb the transmission pump.

    Tranny is in. Shifts like bud-da. Held about 9.5 quarts, baby was thirsty. Son is happy and I am tired. Didn't take a lot of pics but I will post what I have tomorrow. Kirt and his crew did a fantastic job. $1000.00 total for everything including shipping. Not a bad deal. Still don't like the tranny dipstick. It is hard to read, fluid splashes all over the stick. Best success with parking brake on and testing level in neutral with engine running. I guess it is better than the alternative a plug in the side of the tranny and you fill it until it flows over. Who ever thought of that idea
