Peter, and to all who suggested that I install the motor with the  
transmission:

I have installed the motor with the tranny before and I agree that  
while it is a little more nerve racking as it goes in, it really is  
easier than attaching the gearbox after the fact. However, I am using  
a Smitty Toyota gearbox conversion and I want to make sure that my  
slave cylinder/fork is lined up and working properly before I put  
everything in the car. Tracy Drummond suggested attaching the bell  
housing to the engine so that you can easily observe the working  
mechanism and it seems to me that it is a precaution that will save  
time later if things aren't lined up properly.

Again, thanks for all the helpful thoughts. They are appreciated.
