motor is in

Most folks connect the transmission to the motor while it is out of the car.  Clearly this was what the ring mounting system was designed for.  I didn't want to mess with shift linkage so I left the transmission in the car.  This might be doing it the hard way but it wasn't that hard.  I removed the bottom half of the motor mount ring and installed it to put the motor on top of.  The rig required some wrestling to mate up.  I borrowed the hoist from a friend.
