this is the correct answer! I pulled a 4.3 from a rear ended s10 blazer 4x4, notoriously one of the most difficult because of packaging. i cut the windshield pillars and the floor side to side in the middle of the door jambs, and just leaned the firewall back.
if you are scrapping the body, get the engine harness out and roll the body off.
