We got a donor 5.0 from my buddies 86 m/t to go into my girls 86 aod. I swapped the flywheel and removed the bearing thats pressed into the crankshaft. WE dopped the motor in, and got the top 2 motor to trans bolts started fine. Tourqe converter and flywheel are lined up fine.
The problem im having is that I cant get the lower part of the motor and trans to come together. it has maybe a 3/4" gap that wont come together. Ive even tried using a C clamp to pull the block and trans together when I start the bolts. No luck.
The clamp pulls them together until they are about 1/4" apart, then wont go anymore. Ive tried lifting the tranny, but it ends up lifting the whole car.
Any ideas on what could cause the hang up?
Thanks in advance.
