I ordered some exhaust clamps to start getting everything connected. I didn't want the usual u-bolt type because, knowing me, I would have to have to pull everything back apart because I forgot something and then the u-bolts would have mangled everything beyond repair. So ,I ordered the strap type clamps seen below.
While I was under the chassis putting on the first clamp I noticed a loose bolt for the transmission conversion plate. Looked some more and all the bolts are loose. Now I get to pull the trans back off to fix all those bolts. Guess I use some locktite this time. I've never seen bolts work their way out due the temperature change before. That's all it could have been as the engine has not been started yet.
