It lives!

IT RUNS!  Started on the first try.

But (of course there's a but) 1st and 2nd gear aren't engaging now that we dropped the car off jackstands.  3rd, 4th, 5th, and R all "click" when they engage but first and second don't feel like they're connecting.  The shifter feels like jelly and not slotting into place.  I'm really hoping that the cables need to be loosened or something simple like that.  Seems to be a semi common issue for those who do manual swaps that the cables get too tight and out of alignment.

And for some reason during the swap my amplifier/radio harness stopped working? This is why I keep spares around, I guess.

Have many pictures and a video of the first start, but left the camera at the car.  Will try and get those up over the weekend.
