Any one have any tips tricks to get the engine married with the transmission have been trying all day to get it lined up and no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm about to light it on fire and call it a day.

hate to say this but a transmission jack will make your life much easier,, see if you can rent one from an auto parts store or if you can borrow one from you local shop

For sure a trans jack will help a ton.

Well could not get the engine lined up on the trans so I just pulled the trans got it together then put it back in the car. Started up, engine runs well just have some major vibration coming from the trans drive shaft trying to figure out exactly what it is. When I roll down the road the trans starts to shake and shifter starts to shake very bad. Any suggestions?

Yikes. Did you hang the tranny off the input shaft? Sounds like something isn't straight.

pulled the trans mounted to the engine, doesn't feel like it is there more where the trans mounts to the drive shaft it is fine at about 2000 rpm then starts to wobble after that about 25mph and over. Feels like the drive shaft starts to loop.

Could be a twisted shaft or the 2 piece shaft is out of phase.
