engine to transmission bolt up problems
Installing a 3.0 from a 99 -2 wd, 5 speed into a 98 4x4 automatic that had a 3.0.
swapped motor mount flanges from 98 to the 99 block and removed pilot bearing from 99 block, install
torque converter on transmission & spun it a few times to seat it, Then we drop motor in, but we can't get it to seat w/ transmission. I can get all torque converter bolts to engage w/ flywheel, but thats as far as it goes.
What am I missing?
Thanks

I would pullout the trans n try to mate it to the engine outside the vehicle.
U didnt mention if both vehicles where the same just diff in yrs.
I had an issue with a mustang 5.0 going into an e150 van,turned out flexplate for van was flat and the mustang was offset by 1/2" toward trans and wouldnt allow engine and trans to mate up. However they where both automatics.
Goodluck let me if u got it sorted out.

Thanks for all reply's. Finally got it in, we got some 12mm bolts cut heads off to use as hanger studs, slid motor on to studs & it popped right in. Can't believe we didn't think of it before.
Will be finishing up over weekend.
Another quick question about fuel rails. Can I leave the donor intake system, it's flex fuel, I don't believe the 98 was.
