55.2-59 Pulling an engine/tranny out of a van advice...I know someone has done it??

[dsraven]

if it was runnin and drivin well before you pulled it maybe just clean it up good, do a few seals that are easier to do when it's out (whatever that leak was) and then give it some paint before you toss it in. it isn't that hard to pull it out later if you find it isn't as good as you thought. don't over think it, just do it.
above all, post pics as you go. we can maybe point out a few things as you go but not if we can't see the progress. try to get them right side up though, my hang gliding harness is getting harder and harder to get into in the office......and turning the desk top screen all the time just gets me in trouble with the boss.
