With three people it was pretty easy to get out. My 170 pounds acted as the load leveler and it came out nicely. We also removed the radiator because it was out of a 1986 Nissan Maxima. Previous owner put it in there just so that it had a rad. We got the engine and trans apart on the ground. The flexplate was backwards and fits much better the RIGHT way. Thanks for the help so far and I'll try to jeep you somewhat informed/ updated.

It is currently our parts truck. I hope it is rebuildable, we haven't pulled it out yet.
