You just have to persevier. It is surprising how far out of paralleled you can be if you only look from the rear forward.

"Once the engine/turns are paralleled they will slide together with no issues."

So, I have heard, Ed. It just has not yet worked out that way for me....

I have had this issue several times.  Tha input shift is not entering the pilot bearing.  The alignment has to be almost perfect.

Use a couple of extra long bolts with the heads cut off.  Once the tranny is close walk around to the rear of the engine compartment and look down the firewall to see how well the Trans flange and the engine plate are aligned.

I usually use a jack and a piece of wood under the oil pan to lift the rear of the engine up and place a long rod or similar under the rear of the Trans.  Once the engine/turns are paralleled they will slide together with no issues.
