Ok man, but just so you know, I do not have an engine leveler rig, All I have is a chain I hook up. For sure it will scratch that paint job. You might want to rig something up. FYI

yeah I was gonna say I unbolted everything but the rear mount and dp.. (including all hoses and wire connections) in just a lil over a hour.


but u also have to remember I have pulled at least 15 of these motors from dsm/csm's over the past 6 years. I actually think I can do it blindfolded lol...hmmm might have to try that one of these times.
