Message to the bolt locations under the plenum not being strong enough, think about the extra weight you'll be adding trying to pull the transmission attached to the engine. Drop the transmission before engine removal.Get a transmission jack (75.00 or so). Hook it up before removal. It will adjust to the angle that is needed for re-install. Don't change the adjustments and you will be at the proper angle for re-install. Cut off the heads of a couple of old 4in. bolts that will fit the holes of the bell housing where the transmission attaches and use them as guides. Line everything up and slide it in. Check my post history for pics.
