95 4runner engine swap question

Way too heavy and awkward with trans/transfer still attached - I'd separate
the trans from the engine and leave it under the vehicle (will need to
probably disconnect the rear cross member and the drive shafts (careful
fluid will come out the rear). There are good instuctions on doing this
under clutch replacement at the Yota 4x4 web site. You will need some long
extentions (3-4 feet) to get the top bolts.

The engine will come out and go in fairly easy even when you leave the
trans in place.

You wiull njot need to remove anything fron the transmission itself except
for the the Throttle cable (if it has one), the bolt for the dipstick (if
it is automatic) and of coarse the mounting bolts. Every thing else can
remain connected. (drive line, shifter, trans cooler lines, ect.)
