The car is going to have to be sold all or nothing. I really do not want to deal with the hassle of parting it out. I doubt anyone will buy it now that the engine probably needs a rebuild.

I will probably need lots of help Jordan. Still not sure how I am going to get the engine out of the car without a lift.

Pull it out the top. Simple.

I wish it was that simple, but I would have to remove just about everything that is attached to the motor and what is in front of the motor to have a chance of getting it out through the top.

you just need a cherry picker. Put the back tires up on ramps. and use the cherry picker to lift the front of the car up.

That might work if I can get a furniture dolly to set the engine and tranny on so I can move it out of the way.

By the time it takes you to gather up all that junk you could have it out of the car in about 1.5 hours through the top.

Two hours tops with someones help,that knows what there doing. Through the top always seemed easier, at the shop the techs would go top side but one did it bottom side. IMO it is 80% easier thru the top. Essentially it is a pain in the dick either way !!!!

Dude I don't know you but it seems alot of time,money,and effort went in to the car. So why mail it in now, just take the time and solve the problem. Believe me if I had the kinda money I would be happy to take it off your hands.
