Got the 440 installed yesterday!
Mocked up radiator core support / fan setup.
I had a few questions regarding the transmission and whether or not I need to pull the motor back out. I seated the torque converter in until I heard 2 clicks. It spun freely with no issues! Could see the tail shaft spinning even. I bolted the trans up to the motor and we installed it.
I did not apply grease to the “pilot” of the torque converter that goes into the crank. I had no idea people did this. Should I pull the trans and grease that pilot?
Also, when I pulled the TC back to try and bolt it to the flex plate, there was about an 1/8 inch gap between the two… I was able to bolt it on but I’m not sure if this is incorrect? Figured I’d ask the pros!
