Many moons ago I tried this with a good friend. it was on a Spit. We
pulled the head and unbolted (is that a word?) the tranny. Then we pulled
what was absically a short block from the engine bay. It was a bi#$@, but
it worked. Not sure if I would try it again, course the SOABDS had a
bonnet that opened from the fron and it was off.
