pulling engine/tranny after car completion

[dougkirkbride]

A question for those that are completed with their car.

has any one pulled the motor/tranny after they were completly done with thier car? how tough is it?

i have put my motor in/out 3 times without any body panels on or the back shocktower brace on. its a piece of cake, of course it hasent been hooked up to anything yet, ie no fluids, axles havent been plugged in.

i am debating about doing some engine mods now or later and would rather spend the time/money later for this, possible a winter project down the road.

outside of draining the fluids, pulling the shocktower brace off and unplugging the wiring .....do the body panels need to be removed?

if anyone has done this please chime in with your experience. i want to get go carted and start putting on body panels. i plan to attach body panels with riv nuts.

thanks

You must remove the rear bumper as well as the 2 rear hoods/lids.
