I know its been done before, but I can't seem to find a thread on it.
So, does anyone know of a thread or some helpful tips removing a Duke plus tranny from the top?
I'm looking specifically because Its preferred to keep the rest of the car in rolling shape so i can pivot it to the back half of the pole barn for some body stuff over the winter.

Engine removal from the top has been done before but I don't believe that its worth the effort. ------------------

In my humble opinion, it is much easier in the long run to go ahead and drop the engine/cradle out from underneath, remove the engine and transaxle from the cradle, and put the cradle back in place. Beware that if you are planning on rolling the car around the shop, the rear axles need to be installed in the rear wheel hubs to keep the rear hub bearings from trying to separate. ------------------

You can use large bolts/washers/nuts in lieu of the axles to hold the hubs together.
Be aware that if you pull it from the top and bump one of the hinge boxes, it is a b!t¢h to get the decklid to align.
Drop the cradle....in the long run its much easier.[This message has been edited by olejoedad (edited 09-20-2019).]
