So After getting the engine in the truck and transmission all mounted up, I went to put the starter in witch for some reason I decided to do after I put the engine in, I found out I was gonna have to switch to a smaller clutch and flywheel in order to run my original bell housing, as my engine block was not drilled for the hole for the offset starter bolt pattern needed for the starter used with the larger 168 tooth flywheel.
For those that want to read more detail about that I will link the thread here:

So Transmission is back in (again)
back to work on the brakes and waiting for the new valve cover to show up.
Also my aftermarket exhaust manifold I got does not have a heat riser installed so there's that I have to figure out.
