This is true. I own a 2Ton engine hoist. With the hoist in the way, it would be kind of difficult to cart the engine under. Assuming I had a cart to hold the engine/tranny combo.
If I end up not cutting the chassis, I will probably just drop the engine by its self and pull the tranny from the bottom like I would a slant 6.
One of these days, I will buy a crane system. That is something that would get used in my garage.
