Group, It's nearing the time when the power assembly with a W58 tansmission has to be installed. From what I can understand from the forum is that if I remove the sub-frame (4-bolts) and lift the body, I can mount the engine with the headers installed and transmission on the sub frame then drop the body back in place. Ezee Breezy you say? Insights greatly appreciated. Thanks, John English JH5 20175 Richmond, CA P.S. Which end of the steering shaft mounts to the fire wall? One end of my shaft has an off setting bend.

It really is very simple. tires on and a floor jack under the back of the tranny. roll it into position and lower the car down. hardest part was squeezing the bushings in between the frame rails. Attachment: tn_Install Engine 003.JPG (Downloaded 149 times)

John, off set towards the fire wall, and have to agree with Mitch, not much to putting things back but it does get easier if you have a second set of hands to help align those frame bushings. Brett

Looks as if a bridge crane or a fork lift would be the most painless. Can't quite envision the placements of a typical engine hoist(s) without the legs giving some real heartburn.
