Removing a 318 from a van

Are you keeping the van or just taking off what you need? I pulled a 360 with trans from a 75 van years ago. I used a Sawzall to make space in the front. If you take take carb off, you can chain it really tight and slide an engine hoist in and pull it that way. I cheated and did all the same, but used a forklift.
Keeping and installing a better engine.
