Just looking at what it took to separate engine from transmission bellhousing I just wonder if it would be easier on splines and throw out bearing housing to install engine and then bring bellhousing up to it.Gonna take rear end out anyway,so it would be the last thing to reinstall. Also seems like it would be easier to spread frame if that is going to be necessary for getting engine rear mounts in place,original type not FAM.

Easier to separate first due to weight
