i'm looking to change the engine in my nova and was looking for advice on the best way to do this. I have an engine hoist but need advice on if the gearbox needs removing seperatly or is it possible to lift it all out as one if so were's the best points to strap it. Thanks:thumb:

Lift it all out in one.
Through the top.

Put straps around the manifolds/lifting eye on the manifolds.

Out the bottom is easiest imo!

Done a GSi through the top and was a pain in the ****!
