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....
: : : : : drop it out from the bottom?

: : : : : with or w/o tranny attached?

    - Either way, you're going to have to rent something unless you have a HD pulley/cherry picker n/m Jeff92se (92se) 13:56:09 9/09/2002 (1)
