Step one would be to buy a Haynes manual, without that you are destined to disaster.

No need to pull axles when swapping an engine. Pull the old one out from the top and drop the new one in. Done deal.

Yes, but I would listen to Woody... leave the trans in if you don't plan on doing anything to it.jaysz26 wrote:oh yeah i have the haynes manual but do i need to remove the front wheels to get the axle out of the trans axle
