Default motor and trans be pulled together?

Putting h/c/i with new motor mounts and long tubes.. i think it would be easier to do it with the motor out of the car.. can it be pulled out with the tranny along with it? I would like to keep as many things as i could together to take out the motor..

thanks

Take the hood off and make sure the shifter is off...

unless you're putting in a new clutch or something, I'd leave the engine in the car.

to answer your question, yes. you can pull them together if you want.

you don't have to pull the motor to put a cam in.

If anyone wants to help out ur more then welcome 17 year old doin a h/c/i LT install
