So i'm trying to get my engine and transmission together but its as if the torque converter isn't allowing them to slide completely together. I filled up the converter with a quart of trans fluid then put it in the transmission ("clicked" in two or three times) then attempted sliding it on the engine to bolt the torque converter to flywheel but theirs still a quarter inch crack in between the engine and transmission. The bolts won't tighten all the way and close the gap instead they are trying to pull out the metal pins that the bottom 2 bell housing bolts go into. Its like somethings stopping it from coming together. Should I take them apart again bolt the torque converter to the flywheel then try and line up the transmission again or is their something that's not lining up correctly?

I have a squeaky sound that seems to come from the middle of my dashboard whenever I accelerate from stop. Only for like 3-5 seconds, and it sounds like a hamster is running on a wheel haha any ideas as to what it could be? What spins thats close to the dash?

Check all of your vacuum hoses for pinholes.
If it is throttle related, exhaust/intake manifolds are prob your culprit. For most, it seems to be loose bolts on exhaust or intake manifolds. It's a good place to start anyway. Mine sounded like a tea kettle.
The brake cleaner test works swell too.
Good luck

I'm gonna say blower motor... mine does the same thing. Bearing is probably bad in it.

No, something is not completely lined up/engaged. Double check to see if the converter is completely engaged on the front pump of the transmission. Push and turn back n fourth on the converter untill it fully seats on the front pump. Also check to make sure the center of the flexplate (its a flexplate, not flywheel on an automatic) is free of dirt n debris.
