I yanked the engine/tranny out of my '74 by myself using a cable "come
along" in a garage with 7-6" ceiling. No big deal, but somewhat daunting
and it took some twisting and pushing of the car back. I bolted the Datsun
5 speed to the engine before re-insertion and did that myself also. No big
deal.
It did take a tad longer that it takes Frank though!!!!
