Dude, I almost never have someone to help me, I end up doing pretty much everything myself, lol. If it's something that REALLY requires extra help like stabling a transmission, I can sometimes get my little bro to help me for a few minutes, but that cuts into is computer gaming time, :LOL:!

And as for the pics... The stuffs still sitting in the shop, done, but sitting... Ill have install pics before too long. Hoping to set it in, and get it all plumbed/wired in a day by myself taking my time, and possibly putting the turbo kit together again. The trans install is gonna take a day or two alone.

Its always nice to have an extra set of hands when you're stabbing a trans... I've set motors in and transmissions too by myself in definitely less than ideal work conditions but I wouldn't recommend it by any means... Especially to someone who's never done it.

1,2,3 are situations I've been in, but have vowed to never ever ever ever ever do it again if I made it thru it when it was over, just save yourself, trust me.
Four post with not a single pic....

The plan is to have the motor in, and completely wired/plumbed, and the turbo piping reinstalled by Wednesday night... Then its onto the trans install.
