Changing V8 engines

[broderikb]

Just finished another engine swap on my mate's VH & was thinking there has to be an easier way.

Is it easier to pull the motor & box out in one go or seperate at the bellhousing & leave the box in the car?

motor and box together i've always found........

I do motor & gearbox together and also I find jacking up the rear end of my car helps as well.

That's what I thought, but have had some people say its alot easier to leave the box in the car.....& I will try jacking up the rear next time.....

Jacking up the rear does work. Just done a VN SS auto & it makes it so easy with the back up, didnt have to tilt the motor at all, even left the manifolds there & they didnt hit a thing.
