Anyone know of a short cut to pull the engine w/ out pulling trans

[guyd_15]

I want to change my crank. Is there a method for pulling the block while leaving the trans in place?

thats how ive done it. just need to remove the crank pulley to have clearance. though i still pull the head/turbo ect. assembly off first. this is on a 5-speed tona.

What car? Usually, its easier to pull out as an assembly as theres not much room to move the engine away from the tranny due to the tranny input shaft being so long!

what if the car is a 87 daytona pacifica with a automatic trans ???

Automatics are fine, you only need an inch to clear the bellhousing. I pulled the engine only out of my van numerous times last year, , hahahhaha!
