Well, I just got back from the field as I pulled the motor out tonight. I got started late at 9 PM as I was half way across the state today picking up my dads Crossfire car from a guy who fixes them out in Somerset area of PA. Anyways, I got it out by myself in the middle of the field with no lights and using a flashlight in between my teeth I hooked up the chain down through a hole on the front mount and hooked the other end of chain on the bolt that goes into the trans right near the trans dust shield. I pulled it out and pushed the car back and I left the trans mount on it. Came out relatively easy. Motor stayed level when I got it out with trans attached. Is t he vin stamped on the motor of slant six and on the trans side also? Car is a 1969
