10 December 2016 - Engine/Transmission

Continued with getting the transmission setup/ready for bolting to the engine.  Added a couple of supports to the wooden cradle the tranmission is resting on.  Trying to get the wooden cradle setup so that I can suspend the engine from the engine hoist and be able to move the transmission into position to bolt it to the engine.

Since I will be adding a couple of quarts of transmission fluid to the torque converter, I need to find some temporary plugs for the dipstick tube and speedometer hole.  Otherwise the fluid will spill out.  The engine/transmission will have to be positioned at some steep angles to get it into the engine bay.
