Is it possible to remove the engine and tranny together, along with the Kooks headers attached?

Alright then, how about if I pull the headers, will the engine/tranny come out together?

Yes but you will need one of those load rotater thingys to get them out together.

Did you ever diagnose the problem?

OK, I've got a engine tilter thingie. How about if I pull the driver's side header and leave the other one attached? The starter is such a PITA...

Haven't looked at it yet, gotta pull engine or tranny (or both) to figure it out.

Yeah, Zack beat me to it. I know it can be done cause that's how I changed my valve covers.

:rolleyes:

I reckon it's a little easier to pull the headers off than to take tohe body off the frame.
