I have never done a transmission swap before. I got the transmission out ok, but i am having a hard time figuring out how im gonna get the new one back in.. if anyone has any suggestions on how to maneuver it in it would greatly help me. Thanks!
So what exactly is your question, it goes in the same way it goes out.
Just need to make sure your torque convertor is lined up good.

My question is what is the easiest way to get it back in. I had to wait for my flywheel to come in so it was a couple weeks so i dont exactly remember how it came out.

I'm no genius by any stretch of the imagination, but i agree with rob.
No kidding, I thought i could ask someone if there was an easy way of putting it back in because i have my frame in the way along with my transmission mount. Its not like it goes back in as easily as it came out. Thanks
Sorry for being such a smart a$$ eric, what i would suggest is doing a search at the top of the page and see what you can come up with if not i'm sure someone with some information on the subject will chime in Good Luck.
Trim the ears off the subframe about 1" before the bolt hole for the support arm to the lower rad support + cherry picker. Easy!
