worst case senario.. ok this happened on friday i was torquing the head bolts down and well a bolt broke inside the block so i have to pull the motor out of the car, well i just ordered the qtp lifting plate and i was wondering if i can pull the motor and tranny out together or i have to take it out without the tranny thanks in advance guys
I think the motor has to come out from below the car...and the tranny can still be attached. Coincidentally, they just pulled the motor/tranny out of a '98 SS this morning on Horsepower TV.

i think i might have to buy a shop vac of some sort hopefully i can get a good deal on one... but even though the engine coolant is a lil thick its still be able to blow out of cylinder bolt holes..
