Well I wanna pull out the engine + tranny in my car, BUT I just want that tranny i rebuilt. I dont wanna jack the thing up and go thru all that bs, I'd rather have everything out and easy to get to..then just grab thenew tranny and starter,BUT is there anyway to pull the engine without a hoist? I dont have one, and I dont wanna spend the money to rent one..

 

All you need is a tree and a comealong. Way mine was pulled and installed.

 

Use an A-frame and a chain hoist. Worked for my dads 57 chevy a few years ago

 

Ok, where do I start? I know, I'm gonna take a look and figure it out, but I figure you guys can atleast give me a place to start

Should look like that.

 

yeah find a tree.. a rafter.. anything that can support the weight, and a comealong..

 

I mean what do I unbolt? What is the engine connected to? I'm just gonna cut the front end off with a sawzall and cut all the wires and stuff

 

The engine has 2 mounts, the trans has a mount. The all the wiring and the driveshaft/crossmember

 

i used a skid steer loader

My friend uses the tree/comealong method

 

Drive Shaft you don't gotta worry bout Trans end is on a Slip yoke it'll just "slip" out lol
