Engine
Yeah I have done it before. Trans was gone and header was off came out with no problem. I lifted it out next day though rotator cuff was irritated for a couple days. I move engines around the shop that way all the time. For a rotatry a hoist is to much to hassle to push around when I work with limited space. The trans is even lighter I just un bolt it use s pry bar to pry it back and pull it off and put it on the work bench.

Yeah, I have no problems carrying the engines around the garage. But, yanking it out of the engine bay was awkward to say the least.
I just bolted a chain from one side to the other, threw on some gloves and curled it. Showed that **** who the boss was.

Nice!! I wish I could curl it. I one of those people who have to work twice as hard to develope my bi's. My tri's, shoulders and back are OVER developed so I have to use my strengths. That will be new goal to curl a 13b out of an engine bay !! Thanx for the motivation.
I had to carry the engine and trans connected through the house with my brother up 3 staircases that was a bitch of a job, carrying the block on its own ant that bad thu. when you dont have a garage thats what you have to do!
