I did mine like that. Laid a 2x4 across the engine compartment, looped some strong rope around the some bolts on the head/exhaust, and the 2x4. The son and I, lifted from each side of the engine compartment, and had wifey guide and tilt the head assembly out of the engine bay. Of course I gave them both extreme safety briefings about keeping fingers, hands, feet, toes, out of the way 100 percent of the time.

This is the best way to go. The grommet will prevent shorting out due to vibration (insulation cut on the sheet metal). Just make sure to seal it well.

That was the plan. But my parents made me take it to aamco so they could run the same test and waste my money.

What exactly does that do? How does it change the angle or input of the shaft?

Changes the angle of the t case. Makes it flat so you have much more ground clearance. Its a jig, so u can clock your t case. Just makes it super easy
