Okay, first, I have never pulled a transmission or engine in my life. All the work and modifications I have ever done on a vehicle has been with everything in the car.
However, Im have to drop the tranny out and I just cannot see doing that and not pulling the engine and just kinda going over it. Replace sensors (knock sensors for example), timing chain, do the valve train upgrades and so on. Id like to do a head swap with an L32 set up but I doubt I can find a complete set cheap enough and do what I would like to do with them in time. Though the car is off line and there is little to do other than take care of everything I can while it is, I do need to try to minimize the down time.
So, which is going to be better, pulling tranny and engine out through the top (I assume doing that I would have to take off the hood?), or pulling everything through the bottom? Keep in mind right now I have no idea how I would go about lifting the car high enough to clear the engine and tranny. My jack has a 15" lift height and thats it!
So Im looking for help, and if there are any really good step by step guides out there on how to do this, please let me know.
