Hi Frank,
        When I rebuilt my TR6 engine I did the same thing right down to =
the EZ lift.  It is very difficult, in my experience, to get the car =
high enough to get the angle  needed to remove/replace the engine with =
the trans attached. It is much easier in a home garage to reattach the =
transmission to the engine after the engine is installed. I reinstalled =
the manifolds, carbs and fan after the engine was back in the car.
        Best,
        Bob
