Thank you. Yep, I was very careful of all the clearance. I even placed double layered heavy duty cardboard in front of the radiator just in case.

Spent most of the day through late this morning with our daughter and granddaughters. We will see them and the rest of our family during Thanksgiving. Looking forward to it. I'm still working on the teardown and install. Been in the cleaning and painting mode. Here are a couple of parts:

Removed torque converter. That SOB is heavy. Going to wait until my son in-law comes over on Wednesday before installing the new one.
