Its not that high. Car has to fit in the garage. Once I get the cherry picker back and the happy hooker in, I can get the engine out of the house and it will slide right back in the top with the trans. Happy Hooker make it a breeze plus the new UMI k-member should free up alot of space. I was going to go through the bottom but is just so easy with the Happy hooker to do it all through the top..
Heres a couple pics of right b4 I pulled it and one of the primed short. Ill upload some more when I get home.

You'll love the happy hooker. I have had one for several years now, it makes things much easier. I dunno how I ever pulled motors out of these cars without it for so long

I guess I missed the thread where you decided to take it back out and build it...any particular reason why?

Also I see you're running an alternator relocation bracket, but I don't see anything powersteering wise. Did you convert to a manual rack?
