Also, how high off the ground was the car when you did it.

Re: installed motor & trans as one piece I removed the engine+trans(4l60) from the top with a cherry picker and also installed the engine/trans (th400) from the top with the cherry picker.
I didn't use any load leverler or similar device, just a chain. The BMR k member frees up some room too.
My car is about 2 1/2 foot high.

Re: installed motor & trans as one piece been there, done that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
its really not that bad to just pull and install them together from the top with a chain. all you have to do it get the car in the air a bit so you can angle the tranny down. happy hooker? waste of $$$
