Removing an engine from a 22nd...

Ok. This may give everyone a snicker... But I figured that I would confirm that I had pulled the engine the easiest way possible.

It's been a number of years since I removed the 288 from my grandfather's car. ...a non-running 23rd series. I recall that I spent a lot of time underneath the trans removing bolts, inspection plates, linkages and such. Some cursing went on too.

Flash to current day, and (I thought) a smarter me. So to check with anyone who has puleed one... After removing everything off of the front (radiator, gener, pullies) all fuel lines, wires, exhaust and linkage mounts to the engine... I come to my question...

Is it easiest to pull the engine off of the trans shaft, with clutch, fork and bearing remaining in the bellhousing? Or should I have removed the trans cross-member and pulled the trans with the engine?

I pulled the engine off of the trans as I was concerned about weight of the trans. I had the engine hoist on the side of the car.

I have yet to re-install an engine. But I figure to install the engine and trans as a whole.

I did read a motor manual on "engine removal". It really didn't help.

Thanks,

Mark

P.S. I pulled the engine as there is a six inch crack along the water jacket. So I need to find a replacement.
