Default Motor out the top

Well, I finally got it done. Took my motor out the top of the car without taking off the hood. Left almost everything intact, and it took about 6 hours start to finish. Pics soon!

On The Way 1

On The Way 2

On The Way 3

On The Way 4

Out!

Worked in cave-man like conditions, basically all hand tools. Lemme know what you think...

I hope what replaces it will be well worth the hell of taking it out that way!

nice.....I don't see it being that big of a problem...

I'm going to try and pull both my engine and T56 as one unit.....it "should" do the same thing but I WILL be pulling the hood.....I don't want to have to work under/around it....

You know, the biigest problem was removing the engine from the input shaft, but you wont have to do that. Pulling the trans out with it might be difficult, but the intake has to come off.

Bexes would be proud. It was time consuming, but not terribly difficult.
