Right don't want that feeling anymore at my age!! It's not the laying down it's rolling around and getting back upright!!
I thought about lowering it down through the passenger door with an engine hoist and go from there. I see in the original shop manual that they had a trianglular winch which they used to lower the tranny through the floor.
Any thoughts?
