Ok, hopefully last question on this thread. I have the trans rebuilt wit a correct tail case and intermediate shaft. Just waiting on u-joints from rockauto that have shipping delays.

At any rate, I noticed there are a bunch of washers stacked on each of my motor mounts. I'm assuming these were used to move the engine and trans back a bit for mounting the incorrect 2WD trans. In order to remove them I'm guessing I will need to mount the trans and support it with the harbor freight trans jack and then use the floor jack to lift each side of the engine and remove these washers?

Also, one freeze plug on each side have been replaced with the expandable rubber-type plugs and look to have been leaking pretty good. I'm not sure I can get at them to replace them with metal plugs, if I can't are these expandable rubber plugs a decent solution or do they typically leak?

Thanks!
