Two questions about pulling the B200 engine out 200

Certainly a load level rig would be nice--but in the absence of one a simple chain run diagonally across the motor-front to rear will allow you to shift the position without any trouble. A screwdriver jammed through a chain link against the hook will keep the motor/tranny at the angle you want. As others have noted--jack the car high enough to allow a radical angle--no body parts (except the hood) need be removed. On my last trip to NC I removed the engine and AW70 this way from the 245 which will receive an Olds 215 V-8 from the worn out 265 body I originally used (10 years, 150k miles on the road). This trip I'm 3/4 of the way to removing the V-8 and hope to at least have it plopped into place in the later body before returning to NY this weekend. Have fun. -- Dave
