Thanks for all the tips guys. I've got the intake off already so will make a plate to lift it.

Radiator - yes Coopman, I'm a pro at that one now after pulling it for re-core then again because the overfill tube was damaged during re-core. Made a lovely mess of the engine bay as it was a small crack where it connects to the fill neck.

To clarify my #5. When the motor goes back in, if the camshaft is in the same position as removal gauging by the distributor slot; it should be all lined up for the transmission input shaft to slip back in?

Want a good story? Blew a rod out of the block on my daily driver (nissan sentra-no I'm not proud of it ). Replaced the engine, week later had to replace the trans. Couple months later burnt #1 exhaust valve in #4 cylinder. Ripped it all apart and fixed. 6months later burnt #2 exhaust valve in #4 cylinder. Just got it all back together last weekend. Im still smilin' tho the joys of life!
