I do however have the pneumatic engine hoist which lets you keep one hand on the leveler to guide the motor/tranny out and one hand on the button. Let's you keep a good visual on things when pulling it out.


The last motor i pulled had no tranny plus radiator support removed which is un-comparable to what i did this time.

Shorter chains is defiantly a good idea and would've help with engine not leaning forward as upper lift arm extends upward.

i had quite a bit of battle even with the leveler haha. At some point I gave up and removed harmonic balancer pulley to help with clearance a bit.
