    swing it motor and box.

    drain water out of motor - then move into place where you are going to lift the motor. - otherwise you will be laying in water.

    put a dummy yoke in box first, or drain oil first.

    you can change motor and box with just the bonnet off if you want, you don't need to remove rad support.

    use the bonnet bolts in the heads adjacent to each other with a short chain.

    watch that the rear of the 4 sp extension housing doesn't catch and break on the lip on the trans tunnel / firewall - easy to do if your not careful.

    have a tyre on the ground ready to land the motor and box onto when it comes out otherwise you will end up with a beat up sump.

    As someone said theres a bolt hole on the top left and another spot at the rear right of the engine. Put a bolt through the chain and screw it into them. if you have air con i then put the chain around the bracket so it makes a nice supportive 3 point thingy. jhave a few shackles to play with and wa la..

    Also its very handy to have a few jacks and some blocks of wood sitting around as you always find theres some shit unplanned thing that needs support or lifting etc and your buggered if you can move it by yourself from underneath so they come in very handy.

    Also have some masking tape and make tags/notes on all the wires you take off so you can put em back later.

    And enjoy!
