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
I have seen several wooden bucks that guys built themselves. Just make sure you have good casters that will hold the weight.
And get the height close for the buck. I would suggest you measure from the ground up to the longitudinals where the k frame attaches and mimic that on the buck.
For the trans you may want to raise or lower that with a floor jack to get the cross member in.
