RE: GT engine removal

["PAT MARTIN" <MARDKINS@classic.msn.com>]

Engine /tranny out the bottom no question.  No hoist needed just a good floor 
jack.   Pete and I had his out and back in, in one day.  Running that night.  
Much easier out the bottom.  BTDT 6 times now.

Wouldn't it have been easier to drop the subframe and take the 
engine/tranny out the bottom as a unit?  I mean, you have to undo the darn 
steering rack bracket to get the tranny out, no?
