Default Finally blew it up...

Now i'm looking to forge the internals. Question on pulling the motor. Will the motor and tranny come out from the top? Any suggestions when pulling them out?

I think it may have broken a rod. I figured it was a good chance to upgrade. I'll know once I get it out of the car.

IMO it's easier to pull the radiator and wrap a chain around the core support and lift the car with the engine hoist and drop the entire k-member on a wheel dolly. Just did 2 cars a few weeks ago like that. You can just roll the engine out from under the car with the wheel dolly and call it a day. It will make it easier to clean up the engine bay while you're at it.

Do it my way and the whole thing will be out in 2 hours or less.
