You are slow. Leave the heads on and same with the tranny and get it out in 1.5 to 2 hours. From the top.

removing it from the bottom is pretty easy... 6 bolts for the k memeber, 8 for the shocks. 4 for the transmission cross memeber, 2 for torque arm, remove driveshaft, disconect fuel lines, disconect wire from starter, move wires and computer.
i am going to rebuild the motor in my car soon and i always thought id just pull it out the top and it would be easy. after working on my wrecked car i think ill take the motor out the bottom

mine came out the top tanny and all even on my slanted *** driveway. No need to jack the car way up or anything. I'm not saying anything against going out the bottom since I've never done it, but the top was fairly easy.

what i like about the point of doing it from the bottom is that you wouldnt have to remove the radiators or anything like that. also i think there would be less of a chance to crush something doing it from the bottom. after doing an intake swap i dont want to ever mess with putting on an intake with it in the car
