Good info and video, I'll add this is going to be only me doing this by myself.
I bought the HF 2T lift, but it looks like way more stuff needs to be disassembled and put back together when going in from bottom.
Seems to be perfect for a car under going a full resto.
I don't mind the extra work if that makes sense, just worried getting everything aligned from bottom might be tougher compared to dropping in from top, if I'm doing this alone?

I also don't see buying a dolly for an engine/trans combo, unless maybe a couple of HF wooden types could work.

Thx
