that's a nice car. I supported the tranny by sticking a 2x4 across the crossmember, then putting the tranny on it. You'll see what I mean if you look in there.

I just put a jack stand under mine, but i guess it would be nicer to have support relative to the car and not the ground, so you can lift/lower the car without affecting the transmission location relative to the car. didnt give me any problems though.

Looks like you're making good progress already Rob. I'm glad to see the car fell into good hands!

That was 1revin7's car...I put the DP and MP on that car, as well as the gauge install.
