So with everything underneath the car back in place, I find that the holes are off, and now the trans must come out again.

I have written about my decision NOT to install an automatic 4.11 in an SVX before.
For me it has to be an SVX transmission or a 4.44.
The reason is they seem to fail.
Always go with the SVX torque converter if possible.
A 4.44 TQ is ok in a 4.44, but the SVX TQ is preferred.
Will your 4.11 last, I hope so.
