Thanks for the sympathy. But I think my wife is secretly happy since otherwise I might have started another car. Anyway, I will make the best of it.

More prep for dropping the engine.

Heat exchangers out. (You can see evidence of oil dripping onto the left one.)

And after removing the cross-bar bolts and the trans mount bolts, I started to lower.

Of course I found one forgotten connection: the cable to the electronic coil. Fortunately, I spotted that before it took any tension.

Anyway, I got the motor and trans fully lowered. But the rear sheet metal is about 3/4" too tall to clear the rear valance.
