just bought a red 138 motor out of an lc for a bottle of bourbon and it came with a trimatic hangin of the back of it so im pretty happy with that result, now to put it in i no im going to have to change engine mounts but im not sure about gearbox mounts, will i have to change this, and will the tail shaft be the same where it slides into the gear box or will i have to get another tailshaft and get a custom one made up out of the two, and now for those who have done this, are there any other things im going to have to no about. i have a bit of time as im going to have a go at rebuilding it myself(first engine build, you have to start some where)
cheers matty

you will have to make engine mounts and a gearbox mount amoung other fiddly things, as for tailshaft go see the guy you got the motor/gearbox off LC/LJ torana shaft is the one you want
