Found some time this weekend to mess with this thing. Got the clutch and flywheel on. Went with the Mcleod Super Street Pro and a Ram Billet Alum flywheel (thanks Walt)

Got the trans bolted up and was able to get everything in from the top even without dropping the K member like I had to do with the old long tubes

Got it dropped in

Test fitting the Vortech coolant crossover and a couple other things. Intake manifold is just mocked up. Going to have it cleaned up before it goes on permanently
