Hi. Sorry for the delay - I travel too much. I'll see what I have and send 'em, or take some new ones.
The fit isn't bad, but getting it in there is a bit of work. While I like to install engine and trans as a unit in most cases, I don't think I'll do that again with this car - the angle is too steep, so you have to get the car way off the floor. Brake booster/cylinder is tight on the driver side, and not much wiggle room. But once you get the tailhousing of the trans down far enough, it drops right in.
If you have a sling with the worm gear adjustment, so you can change the angle easily, it will help. But I figured the complete assembly was probably near 1000 lbs., and most of the adjustable rigs I found were too light-duty. Meant for the tuned rice jobs, it looks like. So I got a sort of small (140 lb) friend to stand on the tail housing to get it down far enough to clear the trans hump on the way in.
