No, don't release the front motor mounts, the jack is to help support the rear. Yes, you can probably let the engine oil pan rest on the steering drag link. Watch the fan/shroud to radiator clearance .

Any driveshaft shop can fix you up with what you will need for a yoke or new driveshaft. Some shops prefer to make you a new one vs shortening an old one.

You shouldn't have to remove the aluminum shifter plate. When you get the trans out, take a large drift and hit the 3 plate bolts to shock them, they should come out, except for the ones you have stripped, have to weld a nut onto them. As far as removing the trans, I always have used a floor...

Looks like I am still looking for a BB 727 dip stick, tube, hold down and bolt at trans if possible, not the bellhousing bolt. '69 Road Runner.

Ya know, I am not good at doing this either. Maybe it's got something to do with you are not a Gold member. Someone else? Or is his in box just full?
