Tips for installing transmission?

i really hope this tranny isn't a P.O.S. because i spend alot of money on it. money that i probably shouldn't be investing into my car anyways. but we'll c what happens.

I hope it's good too. Nothing more aggravating that spending money on something that doesn't work.

I have installed the engine/tranny numerous ways..... I'm sure I'll catch some flack for this, but it seemed the easiest when the tranny was bolted to the engine and I put it in as a unit....

No flack from me. That's the way I like to do it too. The less laying on my back the more I like it.
