Speaking of dowels, make sure there are 2 in the engine where it mates
to the tranny. These can pull out and stay with the donor tranny instead
of remaining in the engine where they belong. These 2 large hollow
dowels are what precisely align the engine with the tranny, an important
thing over the long haul.
