Ran, I have a 4 post hoist at home, so was thinking of building something that I could set on my strong cart that would catch the oil pan rail in front and have a small jack in back to adjust the trans tailshaft height.
Engine and trans together, headers and all. Only leave off the front stuff, since the shroud would be a pain and to clear the axle with the pulleys.
Today I stripped both front doors out, still have a bunch more to do before soda blasting.
I saw more holes to weld up inside too....
