I just recieved that same griffin a few weeks ago. I am happy with it. The stamped upper tank resemble a stock type tank and polished up very nice. I had a champion before and the wizard (my second choice) has the same kind of upper tank, which I didnt like. The welds on the wizard are much nicer then the champion though. There is a flange for the shroud to bolt to, you just need to drill the holes in the flange like posted above. I dont have stock trans lines so, no comment about how those would fit as I have braided lines.
