Nope install the transmission before installing the piping because once you install the trans and bolt the cross member to the chassis it will move the location of everything, the turbo will more forward, the Tb will move, the whole engine will move.
OR You can try using a jack under the car to level it up the engine then run your piping till you install the trans. You can jack up the engine right where the bellhousing attaches to the engine.
Is your battery staying in the engine bay? i am asking just for a the clean look !!

I am keeping the stock battery and holder, trying to keep the stock look. I laid out the piping today and the bov is going to be tight, but i think doable. Made some progress today with the cams.. this is as far as i want to go without some assistance.. double check to make sure everything was at tdc. Heres some progress..

I actually didnt use anything to hold the cam in place while loosing the cam gears. The impact gun i got is mackdaddy, busted them loose the first time. I did undo the brackets that hokd the cams in place in the proper order according to the pdf attachment.
Thanks Quick...
Now all i need is a micrometer and another set of eyes for guidance... will have to play the waiting game for this install, dont want to screw anything up..

Installing the 264s won't be baD you may not have to change the shims because they are almost close to stock.
Not bad installing them just make sure you torque them in sequence, i would print the tsr online and take your time.
if you don't have the repair manual i have one online i can send you if you wnat , it will make things easier !!

just reinstall the shims in order that you removed them , use some assembly lube to install the cams then just use the feeler gauge and check the clearances. You shouldn't have to replace the stock shims unless they are completely OFF with the stock cams.
Don't use the impact with the install, small rachett to start and then use the Tq wrench.

264 duration like everyone said is close to the stock 1jz cam profile, and the lift is marginal. 1mm.
But you won't know until you got them set in there. This is a precision process here.
Stock Intake/Exhaust
1jz-gte
lift 7.69 7.95
duration (adv) 224 228
duration @ .050"
BC264 Lift = 8.7mm. barely 1mm over stock lift.
Micrometers are for measuring shaft profiles for lathing, feeler gauges are what you need.
No biggie! Slap those things in!
