ERA773 with 427

I have had the engine, bellhousing and transmission in and out several times as one unit. Easy job using a 2 ton engine hoist with a tilt adjuster from Harbor Freight.

Remove the left front wheel and support the frame with a jack stand.

Lift the motor trans over the front of the car, start tilting it down in the back and continue inching the hoist back along side the car. After the bell housing clears the fire wall start leveling the tilt adjuster.

Slowly ease the motor down onto the motor mounts.

Doing the job by yourself should take less than a half an hour.
