I finally said f it and did it. I ordered the motor and trans sept 16th got it oct 29th and fired it up jan 1st. It wasn't that bad but some things I wish I had done different. I highly recommend pulling the front clip to install the engine and trans together. I have a 4 inch drop and couldn't get it in so I had to break it apart. The trans is HEAVY and TALL and doing it on the ground was a pain by myself even with a trans jack. I like your stepper slowcpe. I wasn't a fan of them but they are growing on me. if my bed was trashed I would probably convert it but its in really good condition.
