I need a proper device to engage the transmission, then it wouldn't be nearly as difficult. Or of a 4L80 with a TC hanging on the front didn't weigh 175lbs.
Gimme a PG or TH350 lol.

I use a motorcycle/atv jack. Same idea and works deadly. Need it if you don't want to run one of them sissy, flimsy feeling transmission's that you can lift on your own.
I skipped a few pages here to show how I did my 4th gen. Some 3rd gens also had a couple small ducts to feed the radiator that you could integrate as well. I think I'd want the stock grill feeding some sort of plenum. Anyway, this is how I did my strictly bottom feeder 4th gen. Next time, I'm using aluminum sheet.
I first made it out of cardboard first, the sides took a few iterations to get right.
Did the hockey puck drill to put a friend's Dodge body back on its frame post rehab.
You;d have to pay a visit to a sports shop but i seems to me that I recall there being different durometer readings for different brands of pucks; summarily some are made of a harder rubber or composite compound. I know that if you wanted to be nasty you could stick the puck in the family refrigerator freezer next to the frozen broccoli spears and dig it out just before heading outside to play road hockey. LOL capable of breaking bones while still rock hard. WE tended to go more for the softer rubber balls and foam pucks but even they could be frozen if neccessary.

Think there were pictures posted at some point but when I needed a transmission jack, I managed to pick up the correct cradle for one from Napa and then converted a standard floor jack to four wheel steering. Pics may be on the Non G Thread site. A dedicated transmission jack would have been better but the swap was a one time, FOTF, RA, and LMAO!! that ended up requiring me to drop and roll the new box about three time whle dealing with complications.

Holy bejesus, some quick changes have turned painful. I modified the driver side exhaust pipe to accept the WG. Wow did I fubar that. The WG won’t clear the BOV and I didn’t think of where to dump it. The only conceivable location was on the left front tire. So I scrapped that and remade the pipe. Also, the new radiator (cc162) is thicker and caused interference between the fan and the same pipe. Like …. uhhhh …. wtf.
So new pipe(new mostly) fab was last night and the WG now dumps properly under the engine and is out of sight.
If Hoyle holds up, then I’ll fire it up tonight and be driving tomorrow night (fingers crossed).
24 days and counting to Drag Week.

I've changed pinouts for my firewall plugs 4 times now. I keep finding new things to add that I forgot. I think it's final now though, should be progress pics in a day or two.
