Default Removing engine through the top?

Yea sounds crazy lol but Its all I have access to.

I guess I just unbolt the cross member and drop it down and pull the engine?

Ive seen some members do it through the top before but search function wasnt the best for this subject.

I did find that, although it's a very good one for someone who doesn't know how to do everything just before removal.

I was hoping for pictures on what to do with the cradle, ideas and tips on that part as well. I'm well ahead on completion, just looking for some tips, but thank you for posting that thread
