i'm still contemplating just borrowing dad's chain hoist and pulling it out the top. not much room to pull it with the tranny, but it has been done (as you already know) : rears were set on the max on some old jackstands and the fronts where on the same jackstands + another ft using 4 x 6 boards. : Search on .org Max Van Wa posted pics of his project. He took his out from the top(motor + tranny) : If I had to do it again, I might just roll it into my dad's garage, remove the hood and go from the top. As my dad has a winch/pulley mounted on the above support beam. : I was sorta wierd dropping the engine from below. I took the tranny out 1st, then the motor. Lowered it onto some carboard and then dragged it out. If I lowered it onto a dolly, it wouldn't be low enough to clear the bottom of the car. And lowering the engine down on the 5 ton jack was one hell of a unsteady process. : : : : : : would u pull it out from the top...or.... : : : : : : with or w/o tranny attached? : : : : :
Then again, a cherry picker would just as easily lower it down as it would raise it up. just jack the thing up, then hook the engine to it.. lower the block down onto a sheet of plywood or something, then slide it out.
