haha sounds like a pain in the A** i think ill put mine on my motor before i put it in. might be a bit easier. i bought the clutch alignment tool as well and a pilot bearing its only 20$ i got the ls7 clutch from SDparts for 400$ and was planning to go with a keisler kit but love the look of the shifter in the console so im saving myself 300$ by cutting a new hole and not having to look at the goofy 3foot shifter will make me happy. the only part i was confused about is the yoke i heard that one from a turbo 350 will work with my driveshaft but im not sure. keep us posted. and post pics to! good luck. ill be feeling your pain soon enough
