Re: Supporting engine when removing trans
Thanks to everyone for the comments. Just remembered that I actually used a tie down once!
Rusty, your comments shed some light on how GM mechanics were able to do it that way. My exhaust manifolds and pipes are in place, so I'll give it a try. Worst case is a buddy of mine has a scissors jack that extends to 24".
My main concerns were twisting the rubber pads on the side mounts or having the fan hit the shroud.
