Default Thinking about pulling motor
I am thinking about pulling the motor on the Firebird for an overhaul. Is this easier pulling it from the top or from the bottom of the car?

Definitely the bottom if you have access to the right equipment.

Define that please. I will have access to power tools, a lift, engine hoist, etc. I tried a search on here for a picture or write up but didn't find anything.

If you have access to a lift i would pull from the bottom. It is a lot easier.
