By the way, watch out on Mt. Rose hwy. and Wedge. Just got pulled over for doing 5 over the limit. Well actually got pulled over for flicking my high beams. Didn't know it was a cop, but it sure looked like he had his highs on...
Yeah, I sorted that out shortly after posting... since the motor was out of the car I realized it was easy to just access the bolts down by the oil pan. I got the TC and then the flex plate off... but I still can't put the engine on my stand because the bolts that came off the car aren't long enough to mate with the stand... so I gotta go find some big old metric bolts at the hardware store tomorrow. Then I can actually get to work on cleaning up and re-sealing the motor.
