engine's goin in... but
so it looks like that time is finally here. i'm gonna be dropping the engine and transmission into the gsx on friday while i have the day off... i have all of the bolts and everything is ready to get dropped in, but there are some things that i know are missing on the block but i'm not sure what they are... first, on the rear of the block there seems to be a lot of bolt holes where i know bolts should go into and im assuming some sort of brackets or something, what is this for? i have the same on the front. i'm sure at least one person on this forum knows what im talking about... can anyone lend a hand?

**edit**
I was right the first time. The top set of holes IS for the PS pump and the lowers (bottom left) ARE for the dip stick.

RE: engine'
ok well now my next question is "why is my transmission so much different than this guys picture ^^?? i got everything bolted up today and even set the motor in the car, but the transmission is bolting up to the engine really strangely and now that i see that picture i'm thinking that gary from mitsugraveyard sent me the wrong tranny. now i have a 6 bolt motor, and i was told that i have to use a 2g tranny cause of the motor mounts, but my tranny looks way different than that guys and it doesnt fit the same... here's a couple of pics
maybe it's cause that dude tranny is an auto?? i dunno, but something just doesnt seem right here... am i missing something?
all-in-all, the engine is in the car, now it's time to start connecting everything and gettin it runnin
