Looks GREAT! I've always found it easier to R&R the engines from the bottom.

That's a sharp looking motor and tranny now! Thanks for posting pics. Looks like you're well on your way Jack! Is that your Dodge as well?

I have found it easier to leave the motor on the engine stand and lower the van down with the lift, then I install the cross member. Then support the back of the motor with a 2x4 and a chain across the doghouse or floor. Next pick the van back up with the lift and install the tranny. This how I put them in my gmc
