The trans is HEAVY and TALL and doing it on the ground was a pain by myself even with a trans jack. I like your stepper slowcpe. I wasn't a fan of them but they are growing on me. if my bed was trashed I would probably convert it but its in really good condition.
Nice set up!!

Once I actually pulled a front clip and learned how ridiculously easy it was I will never install another engine without pulling it again.
