    I'm thinking thats why he had the A/C bracket milled to keep it standard

        If you use H/D flex lines for trans cooler, i.e. change the steel pipe fittings in the box. Good time to change fitting ( swivel lock nut type ) when mounted to motor with a hose tail for alignment when not in car. If you use factory steel hard lines you may need to change the other end........

        I'll be interested to see how the factory dip stick fits in the engine bay ( although I would remove it before fitting engine ) My trans came with a flaxie type one, still not fitted..................................

          I'm not sure what he's gonna do about the trans cooler lines , still got probably 3 weeks before he's going to put it all together and with a bit of luck I'll have a chrysler 8.25 diff with disk brakes in before he starts the motor swap
