Most people seem to prefer to drop it out of the bottom.

It's a never ending debate, depending on who you ask. People claim out the top and out the bottom are the best.

Buy a long heavy chain

Wrap it arround a tree

Wrap it arround your block

40 mph in reverse

Or if you want to do it the "right" way
Drop er out the bottom and hoist the car up off of it

I would drop a non race car out the bottom. I pull my race engine out the top, but it is a pretty spartan engine bay. I have done it out the bottom before.

If you decide to pull it out the top then pick up a Happy Hooker pulling plate. You will thank me later.

Post fail, no video.



Not the best but certainly the fastest way to pull it:

I vote out the bottom. I did it once and would do it again. Just make sure you have everything disconnected.
