I need a lift and a transmission jack both. Laying on the ground sucks.

I'm not a fan of doing it on the ground but with a transmission jack it seems 10 times easier. Also I've put the rear up on jack stands to gain more clearance.

I like keeping the transmission as close to the ground as possible using a floor jack. Less likely to fall off and hurt me.

Well since I fixed the rear main i decided to go racing. Mind you now this engine only has one turn on the fuel screw and that's it. It spun the first two times leaving and bogged bad the third when it hooked up. I had fun. And plan to keep playing with it. Going to try and run every week I change something to see how it affects my time.

It needs more gear. The 3.24 gear and 31" tires aren't the best at the track

Took a little ride today with the family. My beautiful Fiancé bought me some slicks for my birthday tomorrow. Time to see if they help out.
