Its cool man. After I talked to you all I did was plug in a couple of sensors and called it a day. Getting the transmission in may be harder than dropping the motor in. I'll hit you up once we're ready to get it in.

Awesome thread man and very informative. I might make a similar thread, iv been taking pictures of my slow progress as well.

I had a question, when you drilled the driveplate is there a specific position it should line up? or you just randomly picked between any two bolts holes?

For the VQ30 timing equipment it doesn't matter.

Yeah we had a minor set back but it didnt stop us and I'll share what happened later. But we did get the transmission half way bolted up but we couldnt seem to get it completely on. So it wont be to much longer.
