I have started the process. And I do realize there’s pros and cons in doing this in different ways. I unfortunately have limited help and little storage space for the complete front clip. Although maybe not the best option, I have removed the hood, grill, radiator and bumper. Working over the fenders is less than ideal. I can understand the difficulty of installing the engine to the already installed transmission. So I guess I’m leaning toward pulling the transmission with it. I do have a leveler.
