We build an engine stand, mount the shifter.

We need to roll the complete engine and transmission under the car, then left it into place. We can buy a pre fabricated stand, but decided to fab up this temporary stand. Once complete we can disassemble the stand and use the wood for something else. We built up some rear supports and lowered the engine into the k Frame. There are a couple spots that need to be ground down for clearance but otherwise this seems to work well.

We also mount the shifter onto the tkx transmission, check the input and output spins without the resistance and the shifter moves without binding.

Next up is to remove the pilot bearing, mount the flywheel and clutch. Measure the clearance of the fingers on the clutch to throw-out bearing after the housing is mounted.
