      So I went to remove the transmission and found only three bell housing bolts holding the damn thing together. Also the engine and transmission weren't even lined up properly. Ugh!!!

          Lol! When you said it was done on a "budget" it didn't think that the budget didn't include bolts! Oh well bolts are cheap and the motor was coming out anyway. I guess I can look at like he saved me some time by not putting all the bolts in.

              Lol! You either get mad or just laugh at the ridiculousness of the craftsmanship of this build. I will post some updated photos of where I am at on the swap later today.

                The exhaust was down right comical

                  Yes it was. Held on by the headers and the hanger in the rear was a thick piece of rubber with a wood screw threw it.

                        This is how the transmission looked when I got a close look. Missing all those transmission bolts.

                            Got the transmission out. Motor is loosened. Tomorrow should be pulling the engine out! Also my harness is complete along with ecu! Huge thanks to Markert Motorwerks with the quick turn around!
