Recruited a buddy of mine, removed the tranny mount bolts, motor mounts, and within an hour...engine and tranny were out.

The whole thing went smoothly, without the usual little things :mad: that crop up. Even the low garage ceiling didnt present a problem.
Having the sheetmetal off definitely simplified things.

Subframe is next to come out. then a trip to the powdercoater

Transmission crossmember stayed in
Gotta remember to pop the frezeout plug...next engine pull tongue.gif ...yeah, bit of a mess :D

Merry Christmas, Scott!!

Pull those plugs, if you haven't yet, or you'll fill the engine with anti-freeze when u pull the heads!
