Kinda hard to tell from the pic, what is not lining up? The TC bolts or bell housing bolts?

The alignment pins doesn't want to slide in. The heads are off the engine. Idk if that would have anything to do with it. Ima get one of those Trans adapters for the jack and see if that will help with the alignment.

Yeah if you don't have a trans jack it is very tough to line everything up straight when your looking at it upside down. You will want the ability to raise and lower the rear of the transmission independently of the front to get it to line up straight.

Used the Trans adapter and took the angle of the engine and matched the angle to the Trans, and it worked out great.
