<VV> Transmission to cross support

[BEllison@bbafiberweb.com]

Having 2 65's, had both the engines out, one of them numerous time (grrr),
best thing you can do (your mileage may vary)...take the lower control arms
back off...leave the back of the engine down a little, get the front three
bolts started.  While you have it out, figure out which holes are
large/small.  I think the driver side is the large one.  Get them an inch or
so in.  Leave the engine down, and get the control arms back on.  Lastly,
raise the engine to the back mount.
