[QUOTE="scottydsntknow, post: 15748542, member: 79824"] Engine is in. Finally holy crap... Putting a 4V in from the top is hairy... not easy like the 2V but it went... 2 other other "gotchas" I found out with the Continental block. The 1st one is the adapter itself, the plate that goes between the trans and the block needs the holes where it goes into the studs machined to 9/16 so the plate can sit flush because of the base of the studs on the adapter being 9/16". The other one is that the Conti block interferes with the top starter bolt on the starter case itself. There is extra material there. Nobody uses that top bolt anyway so I just cut that part off and then had to do a little grinding on the case to get the starter to fit. Not a huge issue. Glad I test fit it beforehand because dropping the 4V in with the starter is a no-go vs being able to have it attached installing a 2V. But its all good now. Once I get the intake manifold on nobody would ever know its a FWD block by looking at it. The adapter worked perfectly, whoever made this adapter really knew wtf they were doing. [/QUOTE]
