engine install

Everyone will say lower body onto k member but some dont have picker. I have done it an a 65 both ways, complete and seperated. I would say complete but youll have to raise front at least 6 inches to get trans extension under hump and itlk still ge tight at rad support but it does fit. If you decise to lower motor into mounted trans, remove engine brackets, there is little chance youll line them up mounted, at least in my narrow a case as the trans almost hits tunnel at ride height. Just dropnin, bolt to trans, then mount up brackets. Oops you are running plate, my mistake.

The way I see it is, If you don't have an engine hoist, you need to find another hobby. People not serious enough to buy the right tools to work on these cars should reconsider their choices. I overlook folks like that as not even car guys. They are always cryin about how expensive the hoist is. I have a friend in Macon who lives in an apartment. He does all his own work. He has an engine hoist and stand along with his tool box right in his apartment, so location is no excuse either. Either you're in or you're out. I just don't see an in between.
