If you go out the bottom with the tranny, you can use a couple properly placed 2x4s to hold the engine up. Going through the top with the engine is a lot more work, and is not really worth it unless you are going to pull the engine to do some work to it.

I have an engine hoist, but my brother has it up in Sedro-Woolley right now. He has a couple projects.

I have pulled mine out the bottom twice now, and that is how I would do it again. But, this time it is coming out the top with the engine.

I thought I had the Sable all fixed, but after a few hard starts it started leaking fluid again. I guess the 3.0L projects gets put on hold again.

I will try and make it to the Krispy Kreme meet.

*** Edit *** Or you can purchase an adjustable engine support bar to hold the engine. I would let you use mine, but I need to pull the tranny out of the Sable again.
