the way i do it is....
disconnect everything,
power steering, brakes, drive shaft, the entire wiring harness, fuel, air conditioner, crossmember, abs wires, O2 sensors (anything else i've missed that has a wire/hose connected to engine)
note- disconnect front brakes lines from ABS and pull the lines out of the clips so they don't get bent/damaged
takes the nuts/bolts out for the strut tower (might have to take off the master cylinder to remove the torques bolts)
take off the wheels
loosen k-member bolts
drop the car down on a dolly making sure the k -member is positioned right under it
take out the k-member bolts and lift the car with an engine hoist or tree (i connected the engine hoist to the hood latch bracket and it held up just fine for both engine swaps i've done)
make sure nothing is still connected as you're slowly lifting the car
and bam you're done

Completely assembled bottom end (383 Stroker)... Finally got all of the tons of clearances and tolerances measured and check as well as piston ring gaps.

Very nice. So are you going to sell it as a DVD? It's amazing that nobody has done this already. I hope it makes you plenty of cash to throw back into your car! So how much do you plan on charging per vid?

We are up to 209 clips for the large video (pull, rebuild and reinstall your ltx). We are about to install the intake to give you an idea of how far along we are...
Gonna be well worth a download I can promise you.
