because pulling it out from the bottom is the best/easiest way to do it.

Or it's because it's so easy and straightforward that it doesn't need a writeup. See what I did there?


It's nothing more than opinion which is preferable. Claiming one way is the best/easiest is nothing more than giving your opinion, because that's all your claim is good for. I guarantee I can get one out of the top with a cherry picker just as fast as you could get one out of the bottom with just a cherry picker.

yeah i agree ive never done either way but i know if its posible then people find ways of making things easier and know what they can and need to do i think i will have to try through the top unless i can pull it for me

Just from my experience, seems like if you can do it, removing it from the bottom would be easiest. Those two miles of dash over the engine made it a pain (harder than changing a small block into a monte carlo)

Actually the whole car is level, its in the air by about 8"..mainly so I could get under it and tighten up the Crossmember and stuff.

This is probably a stupid question but this all involves separating the motor from the transmission right? Or not? I have mine torn down to the bare block. But am planning on installing my new motor back in with heads on etc.

we me and my roommate dropped it all from below it took about 4.5 hours and it was our first time

You sound knowledgeable on it, I think Im going to try this first time out of the top, seems wrong to hang the car so high with a cherry picker, and I dont have a lift. Can I ask what all had to come off the engine to fit it out in front of the cowl? Other than obvious parts..

Just the info I needed!

Is it possible to pull the motor from the top with the trans still attached?

i did mine through the bottom.. you will find a pretty even split of answers which way to pull it...

Z500HP

I read that one issue with pulling for the bottom is that you need to disconnect the brakes and PW and many hate that since you need to bleed them. I read that the PW is a real bitch to bleed.

I'm assuming you mean power steering? If so the power steering is the simplest thing to bleed on the car. Fill the resivior and turn it lock to lock holding it there for a few seconds each time and keep refilling untill the resivior doesn't have any air bubbles in it.
