Engine and trans are out! It went pretty smoothly, but was time consuming and the angle the engine ended up (I do not have a load leveler) was a little alarming.
Took the nuts off the engine mounts, disconnected the trans cooler lines and unbolted the trans mount while supporting the trans with a jack under it.
That was it. I'm glad it's done and the car is almost gone.
What is the best way to store these? Bolted together? I have seen ultramatics stored upright on their bell housings. Is this OK? Keep some oil in the engine and turn it over once in a while?
Next will probably be the front suspension. Is any of it worth keeping or should I scrap it all?
