removing engine from the top
removing engine from the top I got the engine down to the block. I just need to remove all the grounds and whatever is still attached.
Now. I am wanting to leave the tranny in when I do this. So all I need to do is support it with a jack correct? as I unbolt it from the engine.
Now once I have everything removed and the tranny unbolted, is it just lift and pull out? is there anything else I should know before I do this?

Ya put a jack under the trans and leave the trans mount bolted to the car. After everything is un bolted you might have to take two screw drivers and pry the bell apart from the block.
ah i see your in the same situation as me.. i too am trying to figure out whats the better approach. when i put the motor back in i will be going from the bottom though fully assembled

It's a lot easier to maneuver in and out with the tranny detached when pulling from the top. I know this from experience. It's obviously up to you and based on preference but if you're pulling from the top it's quite simple and just takes some adjusting using a load balancer. It's not THAT hard to mate the engine back up to the tranny but it is a bit tedious. This would be quite the time for a clutch swap but then again that's adding to the mix of trying a bunch of new things at once, which if something does go wrong (we're all praying nothing does) will leave a lot to question. It's up to you though, installing a clutch with the engine out is pretty much cake, just whether you wanna add it into the mix. If it were me doing it myself, I'd probably just ride out the clutch you have now and then have a reputable shop do it in the future so you can hold someone else accountable for getting the install perfect. Clutches can be a huge bitch.
alright cool. I ll just do that then. I mean I can definitely see something going wrong with the clutch swap and the engine swap. So both at once would not be to good.
I am going to get the tranny dettached tommarow and hopefully get the engine out as well.

What heads/cam come with the motor? My friend said he sold you his TSP lid. Hope this project works out better than the last one!
Yup! he was looking to swap lids and I had what he wanted plus he felt bad for me so it worked out good.
I ll dig up the thread real quick.
