Now he's cooking with gas......the stove appears to be gas, at least.

And laminate counter tops? If you're gonna run that turbo, you need to upgrade to granite.

LoL, I saw the frown face next to the thread and I thought your turbo was damaged during shipping or something. Now I know its just because you have a small toaster!

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.
