I just don't understand all the extra work of dropping it out the bottom. Why is it people want to take it out the bottom?

It's easier then going out from the top since our motors are so far back.

Stop wasting so much time?!?!? ahahahahahahaha

Using a lift, I've had an entire engine/tranny out of an F body (from below) in less than an hour.

BTW that is how techs at dealerships do it (out the bottom). When you're flat rate you find the quickest way to do things= you make more money.

i want to drop from bottom im guessing it would be easier i want to flush out brake fluid do the suspension.

Bottom is easier..... Top is for douchebags.

Ive done it in 2hrs with a floor jack and a cherry picker.

It took us 2hrs to take it out the top with the hood on. Maybe you guys just need better mechanics

Weel I guess this is a debate that will roam on for ever as there are fans of top and bottom. lol

I always drop out the bottom but having said that it makes it easier to do my front suspension (mostly rod ends replacement) maintenance at the same time.

**siguy** · 11-15-2009, 12:10 PM

gezzzzz drop out of the bottom it is so much easyer...

Also i makes life so much easyer when you want to ter down the engine .. i mean you can drop 100% of the motor tranny and wiring harness all in one shot... same as when you put the motor back in

Toodah!!

Ed Wright, local tuner and known throughout the country pretty well, always takes his out the bottom. He has it down to such a science, he can have it out the bottom in 40 minutes. Most people with experience doing it both ways will tell ya, out the bottom is faster/easier.
