Re: Pulling engine
Anthony....In your case with an 8BA, I would separate at the transmission to bell connection. This will keep the half bell, starter and starter plate together as an assembly during removal. More importantly, it will facilitate simplicity when replacing the engine in that you will not have to fumble with aligning the starter plate and starter while trying to align everything else during the mating (while laying on your back under the car)! Plus, separating at the trans/bell juncture requires the removal of only 8 bolts while laying under the car, vs about 13 bolts at the engine/bell juncture PLUS the starter.
