dropping down

With my '74 duster and 340 with the milodon road race pan and Doug's headers there's no way I'd ever pull it out the top again. From the top the engine has to go in by itself because of the pan and spool type K, then the flywheel and clutch once the engine is in, then the bell, and then the 4 speed, then the headers, starter and steering box, all separate. Huge pain. That's the way I did it, but never again.

Dropping the k is easier, just separate the lower ball joint from the spindle and use the LCA to help remove the torsion bars. Since the uca's and spindles stay so do the brakes etc.

On a stock car out the top is pretty simple, but with my set up its a royal pain.
