July 23, 200520 yr Mostly just want to make sure that there are only two nuts (bottom) and two bolts (top) that need to be removed to pull the engine out. That bottom drivers was a pain, ended up pulling the axle off the stub to get a straight shot at it:rolleyes: . Any other tip are more then welcome!!! Thanks, Tim
July 24, 200520 yr Author It's out and on the ground!!!!! . I think when I put the long block in I will put it in by it's self and then bolt accesories to it. Just seems like any easier way about it. Later, Tim

Thanks, Tim To anyone, what's the trick to getting these loose from the transmission? Took out 2 bolts on top, 2 nuts on the bottom, 4 bolts from the flex plate. Lifted the engine and trans and pulled the motor mounts loose from engine and set them back in the cross member so I don't have to lift it so high. '97 OBW, Monte

I yanked and pulled on the motor. A little bit of spackle putty knives crammed in the hairline gap to split everything. When I reassembled the engine to the transmission, I sanded smooth the pins, gave them a little chamfer/bevel with a file and then wiped anti-seize compound on them. Don't want to have to go through that again.
