So i picked up these 2 transmission, the one on left i bought one on right was free. One on the left the bolts to torque converter dont line up with the flywheel, and it has the weird input shaft, one on the right the converter lines up but the bell housing is weird and its got a smoked 23 clutches. So im without a transmission good news is i slept in 2 days in a row, i definitely needed that didnt realize how worn down i was getting.

Put it away for the night, im honestly disgusted with the engineering department at general motors. Theres no reason for balancer to be so difficult to install.

Spent all day trying to find a balancer instalation tool, couldnt find one, so spent a few more hours trying to find some m16x2.0 threaded rod, couldnt find that either, so i used the old bolt flipped backwards and hit it with a hammer until i could catch a thread and pulled it on. Hope the thrust bearing survived....

Plugs installed yay, had to spend 26 dollars on a stupid 17mm allen wrench for the water drain plug, so retarded.

All hooked up, dont need a double roller adjustable timing set for what this motor is, maybe 400 horse if im lucky, next year when i can justify the expense of a turbo or two, at which point it will need more reliable and adjustable timing. Or so i told myself when i bought it. No idea what tuning software is capable of.

Installing new crank timing gear, and oil pump gear, no pictures of pulling old one off, needed all 4 of my hands to get it off with the cheap orileys puller

Money shot, top rings are at .015 to .016 respectively, rotational torque measurement was 14 ft lbs once she started turning. Granted no cam or timing set yet but should spin up real nice when the go pedal is mashed.
