| It was now time to install the adapter onto the 4L60E transmission and bolt on the transfer case. If you have to change the output shaft be sure to do that ahead of time. In our case we were able to use the stock 4WD shaft in the transmission. We did how ever have to change the input shaft in the Dana 300 to match the output shaft in the transmission. We decided to reseal it at the same time to prevent leaks later on. We also had Mike at the Toy Shop in Pomona, CA reseal the transmission and install two standard size fittings for the transmission cooler lines. He also modified the transmission oil pan on the passenger for extra drive shaft clearance. After we bolted the motor mounts to the engine we were ready to install the package. |

| Now with all the prep work done the engine package is ready to install. With the frame motor mounts already installed the forward position is already established. With the engine setting in the frame we used a floor jack to raise the rear of the assembly up to a fairly level position. We slid the engine toward the drivers side an extra inch for extra drive shaft clearance. With this distance established we were ready to bolt the motor mounts to the frame mounts. Now lifting the rear of the assembly to the desired height we bolted in the cross member. With about an inch clearance between the cross member and the transmission oil pan we determined the distance between the adapter mount and the cross member. We used a late GM 4WD transmission mount and some square tubing as spacers to mount the rear of the assembly. (You can also order a mount kit from Advance Adapters). |
