    I ran into that once on a smallblock Chevy that had been "making gas" from a stuck choke. Don't recall which rod it was, but one of them definitely flopped like that. Found that, called Jasper for a fresh motor. Never pulled the rod cap but I expect the crank was fucked.

        I want to put this car back together.
        I want it to work.
        I want to drive my own cars.
        It is fighting me, every step of the way.

        The EGR tube broke. Bought a new one.
        The drivers side exhaust manifold stud broke off flush and could not be extracted. Bought a new manifold.
        Motor won't mate to the trans.

        Its being an asshole. And im running out of time to deal with this car.

          rust on the dowel pins / corrosion in the holes on the trans? Had that happen before. One thing I will say that I prefer about GM transmissions is they used bolts on the torque converter instead of studs. Made the alignment a shit load easier. Just bolt the trans up, then get underneath and spin the converter until the other set of holes lines up.

            Make sure the torque converter is fully seated, clean the dowel pins and spray them with some lube. Also clean the center nub on the torque converter (where it slides into the back of the crankshaft) and spray the nub and crank hole with lube.

              stupid question but the other motor didn't come out of a manual vehicle did it? Sometimes the pilot bearing is in the way of the torque converter center bit.

                The transmission has rotated counterclockwise (front the front).
                If i get underneath and push up and turn it, it almost lines up. However, the motor it too far towards the passenger side, and if we get itto center, it won't go back to the trans.
                Dowel pins look good. We managed one in, but not the other.
                I'm pulling the transmission today and installing them together.
                Fuck it.

                  No. It was an auto Explorer.

                    I have never once managed to put a motor+trans in a vehicle. You need it up so high and with a strong enough hoist that it just doesn't work. Put a jack under the trans pan with a hunk of wood, it'll sort itself out.

                      Pulled the transmission, mated the new motor to it, and dropped the combo in today. I used 6 ton jacks, but i didn't need to extend them up. Its all bolted in.
                      I just need to put the other half of the car together now.

                        Ok, i got most of the stuff connected underneath. I still need to install the cats, then drop the car down and install the harness and intake.

                            Intake and stuff installed. It should be ready for start tonight.
                            Finally.
                            Oh, and because the block is lighter, it seems like the front came up a bit.

                                But that doesnt fix the front end being high.

                                Hopefully, ill have it all back together tomorrow!
