I might have come up with a solution to the flywheel problem.

Ok major developements have been made! I am super cereal about this too.
I dropped the oil pan and replaced the oil pump and rear main seal. I put in a nice new set of ORD's poly [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]engine [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]mounts[/FONT][/FONT]. Also I got a new fly wheel and when I went to install it I realised that my starter would not work with it since its a bigger flywheel so I had to get a new starter too...
Anyway the flywheel and the clutch went it with ease. Then the trans and t-case went in. I moved the truck out of the garge to have more room to work on it. So I did my same engine hoist through the floor trick and the after stategically placing the chain around the the whole assembly it went in with little trouble except lining up the bolt holes because the trans kept wanting to rotate due to the t-case output. But I since I am totally ripped I muscled it right into place. But I now have a problem with the trans mounts. I got new energy suspention poly mounts for it and they aren't lining up with the bolt holes on the adapter. They are about a 1/4" offset to the back. So I have two options, either mover the crossmember to where they match up, or loosen up the motor mount plates that bolt to the frame because I believe they had some adjustability to them. But because of that I was unable to finish this weekend, and so the truck sits until next friday.
But, I did drive the truck back into the [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]garage[/FONT][/FONT].
I can say that wow do I have good oil pressure now, and the clutch is so smooth too. I actually think it has less pedal pressure than the old one.
Enough talking, pics:
