thanks for the cherry picker idea - i do have an engine puller and have enough room to get it in front of the car and lift the car body up off the K frame. one last question and i'll quit bothering you - do you know how far you can lift the car body off the K frame with all the electric wires? i'm thinking that all the following need to be disconnected: fuel line, starter wires, brake lines from the Master Cylinder - can you think of anything else?
