Hey guys. Im getting ready to pull my engine and install my auto trans and wanted to see if anyone had any tips or new some problems I may run into. Truck is a 61 3/4 ton w/283. I will be fabricating new side engine mounts. I know that I need the vacuem control switch for the lockup converter. Any tips on which one would be best would be great. I think I need to cut out the std trans crossmember and I know I have to make a new one for my auto and shorten the drive shaft. I am unsure about how the starter and flexplate are going to work out. I am planing to bring the engine forward a little bit. Any tips would be great. thanks
