The last time I did this I placed the bell housing face down on the  
bench and overhanging the edge enough to reach inside. The beauty is  
that when you place the thrust washers and lay gear inside and align  
the bores, they just sit there. Easy to measure the end float. For  
final assembly the bell housing will have to be on a couple of small  
blocks because the input shaft protrudes. Again it's pretty easy to  
align the lay gear and install the shaft because the stay where you  
put them.
