Do it once, and you will never want to do it any other way. Agree!!!!

That is the preferred method. If you own or have access to a lift(two post) the removal is very easy. I have a two post lift and being i have an Alterkation front end seems like it would be pretty easy. A couple of dumb questions... What do you set the motor and transmission on? I know I've seen something with wheels that bolts to the front of the car that allows you to still move the car around. Where is the best place to buy something like that? Any other tips, tricks or suggestions would be appreciated.

I made up a dolly for mine that takes the engine and trans. Have been slipping it in and out for test fits into my car. I have a 4 post lift. If you shoot me a pm with your e-mail, I'll send you some photos. Doing photos here, for me, is too convoluted a process.

Some Harbor Fright tire dollys and 3/4" plywood will support the drive train (this is a 383). Be careful where you support the car to not bend the unibody.

Funny, on the ride into work this AM, I was thinking about how I am going to do this, Was my plan and should be doing in the next couple of months. And the thought that came to mind was how my engine lift legs would probably interfere with the engine rolling under. Looks like the US Car Tool idea gives you more distance. Allows you to put the legs on the lift all the way out and not have to extend the boom, making it much safer. http://store.uscartool.com/uni-lift-unibody-front-end-lifting-tool.html
