Made some real progress today.
Took most of the day but got the engine and tranny pulled together from the Crew Cab. Instead of fighting the motor mounts I unbolted the frame mounts and tranny mount, disonnected the exhaust, driveshaft, spdo cable, and shift linkage and it came out with a little persuading. Found another of the 101 uses for the Hi-Lift Jack...
Had a large can of oven cleaner I've been saving for no reason and emptied it on both. After the clean up and separating the tranny Its now on the engine stand to evaluate anything I need to transfer over from the original engine.
After getting the engine removed and looking over the firewall cover, I'm going to try and use it as well. Might give a decibel of noise reduction.
