 I see from the newsletter article that the recommended way to install/remove the engine is with the transmission attached. And then to connect the exhaust header once engine is nearly in place with cam towers removed.

When I removed my engine, I separated it from the trans and left the header attached. I was planning to install it the same way. It seems like there may be some benefits to this method: header can be installed before engine is installed, and you will not need to tip the engine at such a steep angle. Disadvantage might be that it will be a little difficult to mate the engine and trans.

Does anyone have experience installing the engine this way?
