Depends on what kind of engine it is and what cradle/subframe it has.

Mine is still a drop of the motor

Yours is a drop of the car.

To the GTO guys, is it true that there is a lot of room to work on the engine in a 04-06 gto?

Yes. We dropped the Iron Block 408 in no issues at all. Hell I've got a vacuum reserve tank in there....changing plugs is a walk in the park.....

My engine fell out out the bottom of my car once when I was doing a wheelie. What does that make mine?

Luckily I was able to put the motor back in. I didn't even notice that big a change in performance, even though a truck hit it when it was laying in the road.
