As far as the engine lift plate goes, can I just put the engine lift hook (without the leveler) through the middle hole and lift the engine (and bell housing) out that way? Can an engine be removed from a 69 Dart without taking off the hood?
I would prefer to use the engine leveler over the engine lift plate, just my preference.
Someone did post recently that they did pull an engine with the lift plate and the hood still on. If it is a nice hood, I would remove it JIC if it were my car.
