guys
my project car is now near complete. Im about to drop a 325 engine and box into the car.
I have an engine crane. It would be so much easier to drop the engine in with the gearbox attached. Can this be done? Has anyone done it?
What do I need to look out for? DO i need to drop the subframe?? Do i jack the front of the car up in the car??
Any help gretaly appreciated!!
(by the way I have replaced cam belt, water pump etc etc)
dropping box and engine back in at the same time

I've done it, but the other way around. (Dropped the subframe with engine/gearbox then lifted the car). Had workshop ramps tho which made life easy.

its fine mate, no need to remove subframe or anything, just drop engine and box in as one lump
