FYI, the engine leveler I have in the picture makes pulling the engine and trans together so much easier. It takes a little time and elbow grease to move it all the way, but that's obviously my opinion.
Also, if you drop the motor out the bottom don't forget the steering, sway bar, whatever those triangle supports are called that go from the crossmember to the frame, and the struts/springs are not coil overs. I might be wrong on this one but it will be a tight fit to get the motor passed the steering box. |
