You need a hoist. Something to raise the motor up a few inches. The windage tray hangs down about an inch or so, then the pick up tube to the bottom of the pad. Plus you'll need the clearence to get to the bolts that are blocked by the k-member. Even if you drop the k-member a little, you'll still need something to support the motor from the top.
