So I am continuing to try and install the new engine and it just doesnt want to mate up to the tranny. All the bell housing bolts are in but when tighting them up they start to get real hard to turn and end up with about 1/4" of gap between the tranny and the engine. The converter studs are in the correct fly wheel holes. I had the engine in and out like 4 times checking everything. Even took the converter off the transmission and slid it on the fly wheel to be sure the pilot slid into the rear of the crank. It has fought me tooth and nail to match up and once I got all the bolts started it feels like there is something binding and keeping the tranny from bolting up smoothly to the engine. I have done about 4 engine changes in the past and they all pulled up smoothly once the bolts were all in. Looking for a solution or someone who had a simular problem. I have a ton of things to get done on this car besides fighting the bolt up of the engine
