Default Engine Removal Help Needed

The main question is can you leave the car on its suspension without the motor in the car? I need it to still be mobile so we can pull the engine & then push the car out of the way until it gets back from the machine shop :)

I believe the motor comes out from the bottom and
you have to drop the front suspension to do that. You
can put the suspension back together to do the roll-
around.

Take the engine out from the top and just wire up the transmission in place and the car will be movable :)

The engine can be removed from the top or bottom. Much easier from the bottom if you have a lift ;)

Forged pistons just & tighter main bearings, just want the car to be mobile so we can push it out of the shop when we have other cars to work on :)
