[Steve in Denver]

I took mine out engine and trans at the same time. I removed the grill and used an engine hoist with one of those engine tilt things so I could almost stand the engine and trans straight. I rented a 1 1/2 ton hoist. I should have rented the 2 1/2 ton hoist. the 1 1/2 did not have enough length to easily reach the engine. Oh, and I removed the manifold and made a plate to bolt to the engine, then to attach the hoist to. I probably could have just bolted it to the block, but did not want to scratch or dent anything.
