t-56 install
Okay im going to be doing a t-56 swap this winter and my friend (who is fairly car knowledgeable) seems to think ill need an engine hoist so i can tilt the engine because thats the only way ill be able to get at the top bolts for the transmission.....i think hes crazy....what special (and by special i mean large and expensive) tools do i need to do the swap?

You do not need an engine hoist. When you remove the trans. cross member the engine will tilt down in back.
You can get at the top bolts in several ways. From the top before remove anything else. depending on excessories this can be a bear. Or from the bottom after the cross member has been removed. This is easiest with a long extention, 3 foot at least, and a flex socket, but can be done with standard tools.

You dont need any special tools, you dont need to lift the motor, only tilt it. THe whole job took me one all night session. Seriously it was easier for me than headers and cat-back. Any questions just ask.
