Having pulled and installed the engine and trans as a unit twice and the =

Mike, I R&Rd both a six and a four by myself. You can do it too. If it =
doesn't look right or feel right just back everything up and start over =
when you are fresh. Cover the shroud and the opening with towels or =
movers blankets to give you another quarter inch to change your mind. =
With the engine and tranny combo you will be tilting the engine a lot. =
Either raise the car an inch or so or be prepared to crawl underneath =
and pull the tranny tail back. Watch the sheet metal interface with the =
engine block.=20
