Thanks everyone. We got the engine out last night, and there were no snags at all with that. I did however forget to remove the PS pump, woops, that was messy, and partially tore one of the lines. Other then that I just lifted up on the bottom of the crank pulley and the rear of the engine just laid down and allowed me to pull it out, we slid the lift sideways and removed the engine. I couldn't get it on an engine stand since my tranny bolts weren't long enough, so it's sitting on the lift as you read this. Im having a friend get the bolts for me this afternoon, and hopefully have it on the stand by tonight. Saturday Im going to pull the head off, and the rest of the bottom end, and see how messed up everything is.

Stay tuned for more fun... same bat time, same bat channel.
