Yeah, looking back I should have grabbed one of the cherry pickers from the shop before I took the truck apart.
I've actually got a plan to support the box using the auto crossmember to allow me to gently slide it on the frame rails, and pivot the motor forward slightly to level it out again. Once I can get the rear supported on the crossmember, I can rest the front on some jacks in the and better position ny trans jack.

Alright, so I've run into another snag.
First off, what are the torque specs for the bellhousing to the motor? I've read 45ft-lbs on some sites.
Second, I've got the right crossmember off the donor truck, but it doesn't line up with the transmission at all, and there's only a single set of holes that match it. It's as though the box is too far forward.
Since mine was initially a 2wd truck, do I have to drill new holes in the frame? Didn't see anything about that.

Okay, so I will have to drill the holes. Looking around for photos of frames on manual trucks shows me where they are. Now, what are my tolerances in terms of how accurate I need to drill these holes? Or do I have some leeway?
I'll have to wait till later this morning before I go drilling, so I'm just removing the auto shifter and tidying up the interior again.
