Can you pull a 8v block while leaving the tranny in the car? I'm tired of working on the wife's Jetta. I just put a tranny in a few months ago and now it needs a motor. The head is off and it looks like if I remove the pulleys the block will slide out enough to clear the bellhousing. I will have a hoist and pair of floor jacks. Has anyone done this?
Physically yes with some struggling, it will be a pain putting it back in if the motor is rebuilt out of the car. It would be much quicker to take the trans out aswell.
