I am in the process of removing the engine from my 1977. Is there any special order to follow or "tricks" ?? Thanks !

With this method, once the engine is laying on the garage floor, how do you get it up onto a work bench? Isn't there a possibility of hurting your back while moving it from the floor to the bench?

Take a look at my method. Very simple to build and and control removal and installation. You can always manhandle the thing but there are usually consequences to your back or newly painted frame. I just used threaded rod at the top,top rear,and front mounts.Located their position on a 2x2 1/2 panel and reinforced with spare 2x6 pieces. On the back of the 2x2 panel I pounded those threaded inserts with the teeth to hold the rod. I believe I used 1/2 and 3/8 rod. You will need to double check hole size.
