Well I'm swapping out engines so wish me luck and pray that this used engine is worth a crap. It supposevely has 80k on it but it doesn't look that good to me. question: I was hoping to be able to pull the engine forward enough to get it out of the trans and pull it out but after looking at the engine with the torque converter on it it looks like I need to drop the trans. Will I need to drop the transmission when I do this?Thanks,Paul View Original Article
