Thx for all the replies, I bit the bullet and dumped $70 worth of +4 in it, and was able to drive it. Little hairy lining it up and backing up the ramp.....................
Kwik Likft is nice, but heavy to move and put together, and you have to be able to get the car on it. I bought this used for $400 when I did the initial 518 install.
I thought about the come-along, but would need some sort of cross bar at the back, then wrap all the way around and pull cable underneath to front, and then have something in front to attach to, a disaster in the making for me.

Now I can take my time and get the trans out, and go from there.
The thing that really sucks, was this trans was sitting there for a year while waiting for parts and getting the new motor installed.
Literally drove the car 4 times with new motor, and it feels strong, now I have to pull the trans and probably spend another $2k to get going again.................
