David, Yes it can and is generally the preferred method. Just be sure to have another person to help you to guide the trans out from from under the firewall.

Steps in Engine Removal
Hi,
This is an old thread, but want to remove motor in my 72 GP. I am fine with radiator, shroud, etc, but can someone list out steps, best practices? I have never removed a motor and would rather not mess with the trans. (other than bell housing bolts, of course). Then thinking ahead when reinstalling, how hard is it to line up bell housing to reinstall? Is that why its easier to remove both motor and trans at the same time? Thank you |

Many years ago I bought an engine tilter that is awesome. You hook it to the back and front of the cylinder heads and connect it to the cherry picker. You can tilt the engine as you lift, allowing one person to do the R & R.

The next step up in ease of operation compared to the engine tilter which in itself is an awesome tool is the Mac’s Pivot Plate.
The engine tilters can run into the firewall and cranking them is difficult sometimes, depending on the angle when you’re lifting high the crank can interfere with the hoist boom. The Mac’s Pivot Plate is just so much easier to use. I paid a little more than $150 for mine about 5 years ago.

I've seen the ones that bolt onto the carb. The bolts are a little small for my taste when you're putting engine and tranny in together, especially if you have an aluminum intake.
