Check ebay for the manuals. Sometimes at car shows you will find literature vendors as well. There are online vendors if you want to buy them in electronic form on cd, but budget wise ebay may be better.

If the engine was hanging on the torque converter while it was still in trans, inspect the converter hub closely (the part facing the rear of the trans) for any signs of cracking before putting it back in.

In any case, replace the front seal in the trans. It was almost certainly damaged, by leaving the converter bolted to the engine.
