Locate the pin stamped VIN number on the engine and the transmission. Some states check for
these numbers during registration. It may be useful to take pictures of these for the inspector.
The engine VIN is located on the drivers’ side on the engine block just above the oil pan near the
bellhousing (it is very small). The Transmission VIN number is on the drivers’ side in front of
the Speedo sensor near the middle of the transmission (it is very small).

The easiest method to install the drivetrain is with the engine and transmission already bolted
together and lowered in as a unit. Also remove anything that will make your job easier (shifter
assembly, headers, power steering pump, etc…).
Lower the engine and transmission into place. The more hands you have to help the better. Go very
slowly and make sure the transmission tail-shaft is above the rear cross-member.
Install the engine mount to chassis nuts and tighten down all the engine mount hardware. Make sure the
alignment pins on the mounts are in the holes on the chassis pads.
