you mite need a engine hoist and can left the engine from the top,removing the hood mite make it easier.have seen a guy on here that loosened all the K-member bolts and lifted the front of the car up with a good engine hoist,leaving the engine ,K-member and front tires on the ground.

Yea ive heard of that being done only problem is my frame is tied up on my blue ss .. can the engine come out of the top at all?

Engine can come out the top but it's way easier out the bottom... That's how I did mine, in a driveway under a carport. Unhook everything then all that holds it up it 6 k-member bolts and 4 trans crossmember bolts.
