She's out. Was a breeze. From putting it on the lift to motor on the floor was maybe 2 hrs worth of work. Had a little snag when i thought what was just an normal inspection cover was actually an entire plate that's behind the flywheel, couldn't get the motor and trans to separate for some reason and that was it. The hardest part was by far the e12 bolts up top. Really difficult to get to unless you unbolt trans cross member and let it drop a few inches. But I also removed the motor mounts so they won't be in way when dropping new motor back in and trying to align it. Once everythings bolted back up I can raise motor enough to put the new mounts in.
best to install mounts before with the crossbolts loose. Tighten them later.

And...So it's mated? Wowa..this is starting to sound like football. "He could go all the way", "split the up-rights", "penetrate into the end zone" , and, a penalty on the ball carrier, "illegal use of hands". Was that the tight end or the wide receiver?
