after a few more hours on the first day I had the engine pulled.

The frame being really bent made getting to the bell housing bolts very difficult. also I had to pull the upper intake manifold to reach them and to be able to clear the firewall when lifting. also 1 of the torque converter nuts stripped out so I had to pull it along with the engine.

the bent frame prevented me from being able to pull the tranny along with the engine. yet alone my hoist isn't very strong and hard to balance them both
