A simple question

I have tried a search, but maybe it's just too broad.... Anyways, when swapping engines, can I pull the engine w/ the tranny connected? Or do I have to drop the tranny first? Same for install I would assume. We're looking at pulling both out at the same time if possible. Figured I'd ask first though to possibly save some heartache. Thanks, Roy

Yeah, I pulled both of mine at the same time. Just be careful, and help guide the trans. to keep from hitting stuff.

Tilt sling is an invaluable tool for this operation. I wouldn't try to pull engine and tranny together without it. I installed the engine and tranny together with a tilt sling, used the sling again when I pulled the engine only for the mods in the sig.
