Re: Supporting engine when removing trans

Worst-case scenario is the motor mounts are broken and the exhaust pipes are paper thin. Then the engine falls backwards and breaks the shroud, the fan hits the radiator, the distributor cap gets broken and oil pan gets crushed exactly 37 minutes after you pull the transmission.

I'm not pessimistic, I've just spent a lot of years working on junk.
It's always better to be safe than sorry in my world.
