I didn’t know/see any at my local HF. I wasn’t looking for one though. Good to know they are there somewhere in there.
Has anyone installed there engine & trans together ? Ive always put the engine in & then the transmission but do to the fact I don't have the room any more I have to do things alittle different. My garage only has a 6 1/2 ft ceiling. I will have to push the car out in the driveway to put the engine in. I think it would make things easier if I could put the engine & transmission in together. Never done it Never seen it done Is it easy Pain in the *** Anyone have any tips ? thanks

whats a tilting pad tool ?If you are going to install the engine and trans together from above then I highly recommend a tilting pad tool. I've used this one for 20+ years and it really saves the bacon on the tight installs.

The last time I put the engine in my M-code cuda I installed it thru the top with the transmission attached and the hood installed. I removed the carb, installed the lifting plate and hooked it to the picker with a short hook and chain. I also removed the two front bolts from the hinge brackets to allow me to raise the front of the hood up a few more inches.
