Great writeup, but I would like to recommend one change. I do not like to pick the car up by the trunk latch, because it bends the latch. My modification is to remove the trunk latch and replace it with a piece of flat scrap steel, with two holes drilled for the latch bolts and a large hole to allow the crane hook connection. This also has the effect of moving the crane about an inch rearward, making it easier to slide the dolly out. The scrap steel that I used was the spacer that is bewteen the rear struts and the space frame. It is about 6-8" in diameter, 3/16" thick, and already has a big hole for the hook. I only had to drill two holes in it. I used the latch bolts to hold the scrap steel as these are higher grade bolts.

Just now doing a V-6 pull with a 4-Speed Tranny so I will post some pics of the 4-speed removal procedure. Not much different from the 5-Speed but there are one or two things worth noting, stay tuned for pics.

used this guide 2x
my modified fiero had a couple snags with things that were re-located
now taking the parts car cradle out and the front bolts wont budge
I am going to try a bit more hammering after that i will cut the heads of the bolts off with an angle grinder
i would prefer not cutting them with gas lines in the area
lets hope i dont burn the garage down

I am getting ready to pull an engine assy. Is there a idea height for the dolly. I have one from another project that is 8 inches tall. The one shown in the here is maybe 2 inches taller. Will that make a difference?
