Re: Pulling engine and transmission together???

Good move on getting the load leveler. I do not have one and you can see the crazy steep angle I ended up with getting my engine and trans out in the pic below. This is a later car with an Ultramatic, but the length is only a little longer than you are dealing with. The tail of the trans kept getting hung up on the bracing and steering bar.
Caution on straps. I used some 5,000 lb tow straps that were a nylon type material. I noticed that near the oil pan, it was beginning to get cut into. I would get the fabric style next time as I believe they are more durable.
I was able to do this by myself, but it was no fun, at least in 30 degree weather.
