My .02.

Bolt the trans to the engine. So much easier to line up the trans to engine out of the truck. That TKO 600 is not light. Trying to muscle it in at the right angle even with two people will be a struggle.

Don't know if you have the grille and core support out but if you do you can get the engine on the motor mounts and then mark the tunnel for the shifter hole.

Again just my .02 and good luck with your project.
