Motor removal, Engine removal...etc....?'s
I have pulled the tranny and rear end in my car and I could have the torque tube out in an hour!
I was wondering if the motor could be removed from the top of the car, rather then from the bottom.....
If this can be done, or if anyone has some insight....please let me know.

It can come out the top but since you have got that far in removing the rear cradle and are close to getting the torque tube out, I prefer to remove them out the bottom. :seeya

Hey good ole buddy.........
I have a WTB post in the parts section.
I am in need of a short block....I have a guy here that can build one, but if you have one already built or want to get rid of let me know.
BTW,
I can't quite pull it out from the bottom because it is in my garage and there is no room underneath....if you know what I mean.
Is it possible to remove the motor without removing the torque tube? I only ask because in your post it would seem that I may have made a few extra steps....can you "very generally" explain how to remove?
Besides....I only have the rest out because I am rebuilding my tranny....turned out not to be the rearend, but instead the output shaft from the tranny!
