Doing that with the transmission still in its original position is going to enhance your cussword vocabulary immensely. You'll spend at least 3 to 4 times as much time trying to jiggle everything into alignment than you will if you just disconnct the driveshaft and PTO and back the transmission up 6-8 inches, supported on a jack. Once the engine is sitting on the mounts, then slide the trans into place and bolt everything up. Jerry
