Would it be alright to put the sm465/rockwell in the frame now without the motor in or should I wait till the motor is ready and then install it all? If I do put the 465/Rockwell in should I support the front of the transmission with something or will the t-case being bolted down to the torque bracket and then the 2 bolts through the crossmember be enough? I'm trying to get the shop cleaned out and the old rockwell and 465 are taking up room.So,I thought why not put them in now and get them out of the way.I decided against swapping the 205 in,dont want any more transmissions and transfer cases taking up room and what I have is going to be used..
