I have never seen a split cradle either and have worked on lots of these doing suspension work. Maybe yours was split because it sat in the ocean too long and rusted in half?
IF youve done one on a 02 WHY in the world would you ask IF they have a split cradle???Yes it can be done. what year is the car? Someone step in if i am wrong but don't the newer gp's have a split engine cradle? but you'd need and engine hold tool to hold the engine in place. but it can be done
