i have done it in my ss didn't even have to take the hood off. i don't recommend that. take as much off as you can then pull it out really not to bad. me and my dad with being super carefull got it all off and out in about 4 hours. remember this was our first time. take the tranny out from under the car and just pull the motor by it self. hope this helps.

I just got the motor back and I am ready to stick it back in. Did u put the tranny back in before the motor?

motor first then the tranny. be carefull with the dip stick tube. make sure you have it set when the tranny goes up and in place. there is one bolt that goes on top.
