Wally, good you had help. That picture is why I don't try to do it that way any more. Once was enough. Now all I have to clear is the top grill bar. It comes out at just a slight angle. The last installation, 2 years ago, I put engine and trans in separately and found I no longer have the strength to man handle the trans on a floor jack. Ended up using ratchet straps blocked with 2x4s to stabilize it on the jack with a friend holding the reinstalled shift lever along with as long as possible guide pins. I didn't put them in as a unit because of limited floor space in front of the truck.
