removing pinto
Is it ok to remove the pinto engine and leave the gearbox still in the car, or is it best to remove both.
Cheers Brad.

I'd think its easiest to remove both together and split outside the car judging from the difficulty i experienced trying to get the drive shaft
into the gearbox after the engine rebuild

If the clutch is centralised correctly there is no reason why refitting should be difficult , leave the gearbox in place supported if possible on a
trolley jack. When refitting engine to gearbox height can be altered to align engine and box.

Depends - from what its coming out of and with what gear etc. Trouble is that if you lift the whole thing up and out it rotates leaving the back end
of the gearbox low and the oil runs out. Done that one! I do it separatley now in and out of the rollerskate and leave the box in situ if i only
need the engine out. It can be tricky to mate hem back up - not so bad if you haven't rotated either crankshaft or input shaft.

It's to remove and leave out , not to replace, i just thought i could get myself chain lift to lift engine staight out ,then remove gearbox,
wondered if it was easier that way.

quicker to do it whole, you want to lower the front of the car if possible to avoid tilting the box too far. I have a crane you can borrow if you
want.

Put the back end up on ramps so the engine tilting up helps clear the front, it makes the job easier.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
