Not too much to see here. I originally had a scare when it looked like the
flex plate bolts would not go in far enough. Turned out that the previous
bolts used on this engine were not as long, and some crud built up inside
the holes.

Once those were tight, I assembled the engine to the trans, and then had my
friend Gene come over to help me get it all into the engine bay.

Everything seems to fit fine! And that makes sense, because this is the
type of engine that should be in there!
