Making a little progress! Here is my bell adapter and all bolted up. Next is the motor mounts, just trying to figure out the best mounts.

Yea, I started the adapter by locating the allignment pins and them welding to the plate before drilling the holes (benz side). Then used the allignment tool I made with the stick bell, located and welded the GM dowels before drilling holes. After everything was done I re-checked with the allignment tool, perfect!

Good job!! That trans aint' going anywhere!!! I think your the first person to use the dowel pins on your adapter plate, smart. Did you figure out the motor mounts?
