Paul,
I have a 1990 RX7 that I have removed the engine to rebuild.  It is a
straight drive.  I have the transmission support with jack stand,
however I would like to move the car several miles in order to reinstall
the engine.  I need a jig to bolt in place to support the transmission
using the engine mount locations.  Could you sketch me a jig using the
info you have in Rhino that I could weld together to safely move the car
without the engine?  Thank you for your help.  Engine is non-turbo.

I would use several strands of coat hanger wire and support the bell housing with the
wheel wells with a 2 by 4 long enough to go from wheel well to wheel well.
Cut the 2 by 4 just the right length.

Each strand of coat  hanger will support about 100 pounds.

Take the hood off.
