Yup, been doing them this way for years. I usually wind up installing an UD pulley anyway so I like having the extra clearance. C5s are a bit of a pain but 4th gens are pretty much cut and dry.

I have the 4 point, bolts at 4 points where the bellhousing goes. Good to know this tidbit.... Don't think I've seen a T bar.
Anyway, back on topic, Nice work on getting that motor out. If the bearings all look good though I agree it may be a trans problem. Ah, its good practice lol.

these are the rods there are some worse than others.
the bearing 4 days later still has that friction smell.
the mains have some dirt grooves into them.
will be checking for out of round and tapered rods/mains
later today.
will also be running a thicker oil with zinc.
recommended by my machinist.
still shopping around for parts hoping to have everything mid next week.
def going to october meet.
