Stop in for a cup of coffee

so I'm thinking maybe you would be better off pulling the engine and trans out of it - it doesn't and probably isn't going to run anytime soon - no engine/trans would make it easier to pull out the car from where it is - and then you would have no need for a core
not a bad idea. If i can safely get under the car to remove the trans. I'm not sure I'd trust jackstands on dirt.
