Going under the knife tomorrow!!
After a few months of research and parts gathering I am finally ready for the install. I am dropping the motor through the bottom but am still scratching my head on what would be best to set the k member on while I lift the car off of it. I will be using a lift so it should make life a little bit easier but I couldn't find a furniture dolly that looked stable enough to support that much weight. If anyone that has done this before has any suggestions I would appreciate it, and any last minute tips and things to look out for are welcomed. thanks guys

well, I got the engine and trans out of it wasn't all that difficult but definately wasn't much fun! The place I am doing it at closed at 4 it took me 6 hours to drop the kmember and roll it out from underneath. I was under the assumption that it could be done much faster but checking and rechecking everything is time consuming. I have to wait until tuesday to tear back into it but I will keep everyone posted as it goes, I also took a TON of pictures mainly just so I could see how it goes back together if I have any questions but I will be more than happy to post the pics once it is complete or somewhere in between.
