Gave up on the transmission. It will just have to wait for a rebuild. I dropped the motor back in this evening and dry fit everything. Looks great. Everything is going together. Couldnt find the motor mount bolts. duh. So had to go buy some. Bought a new fly wheel also. Realized the old one was missing teeth. Air filter sits a little high so will have to put on a scoop or get a smaller filter. Havent decided yet. Would like to do a cowl induction hood but not sure how that will work on a Cougar hood.
