Re: [DML] engine pulling question.. Also upgrades.

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Other than those 4 screws being a pain to get to (what isn't!), this 
is a great idea. I had to do this when reinstalling an engine with an 
automatic trans attached. Somehow it came out just fine, but it did 
not want to go back in to place with the mounts already on the frame. 

Things are a lot tighter on the automatic, but it would help on 
either. 

Most of this process goes a lot easier with two or three people. You 
figure out some creative stuff working alone.
