4ksq/CGT motor swap

[Ken Keith <auditude@impulsedata.net>]

Hey all,

The weather's starting to cool off, and it's time
for 
me to start working towards getting the 4ksq
roadworthy.

I want to take the motor out of my '86 Coupe GT,
and 
put it in the '85 4ksq.  I know it's alot of work
for 
just the stock n/a motor, but finances are an
issue, 
as is available working space (parts car storage,
etc.), 
and time (tracking down a donor).

I'm wondering if it is easier to drop the
engine/tranny 
combo as a unit from the bottom, rather than
disconnect 
the motor from the tranny and take the motor out
of the 
top.

Or, taking the motor/tranny as a unit out the top
maybe.

Which is the easiest method?  I do not have a
cherry 
picker yet, and will have to buy one if I'm doing
things 
from the top end.  I was going to try to get buy
with a 
big floor jack from the bottom if I could.  Am I
dreaming?

Any help is appreciated (advice and actual
physical labor 
if you're nearby ;-)  ).

Please CC me directly with any replies.

Thanks alot,

Ken

p.s.  My distributor broke off the motor in the
accident, 
so I hope that will not have caused any big
problems.  Any 
opinions on that?  (I have another distributor of
course)

p.p.s.  Anyone have a Coupe GT or something like
that for 
sale?  Or a 5 speed quattro?  I have other options
for 
transpo, but haven't found anything good on the
'net.
Arizona/California area preferred.
