Anyone pull motor from the bottom?

[krhonn]

I've heard of people pulling the motor from the bottom of the car with a lift.
Has anyone on the site done this before? If so can you give the best step by step instructions on how to do so?
Thanks in advance, Kenny.

Kenny, while I can't tell you how to do it I can say that my engine came out from the bottom. Fast Lane Motor sports dropped it while doing some head work.

It's pretty easy. Take the struts off, all wires that need to be disconnected, anything that will interfer (drive shaft, exhaust, steering shaft, etc). Position a cart below the engine and lower the car lightly onto the cart--you might need some wood bocks to shim up the k-member and transmission. Now disconnect the k-member and then raise the car up, while watching for still connected items.
