I pulled the motor and put a couple blocks of wood under the trans pan to support the front of the transmission. But now I'd like to move the car. Any ideas on a way to hold up the trans while I move the car around on wheel dollies?
Thx

I used a coat hanger or wire thru bell housing bolt hole, up and around master cylinder on 1 side, and to a bolt or stud sticking out of fire wall on passenger side.

I have apiece of light angle iron and a pair of bolts just like IMGTX.

2x4 across the fenders (with a rag underneath each side) and steel cable through the bellhousing bolt holes. Use crosby clamps to secure the cable looped around the 2x4. This is at least how I did it.
