Lots of good help. I’ll probably be pulling the engine and transmission on Saturday or Sunday. Thing is, there’s a meet in Brampton on Saturday and I don’t want it to conflict. hahahaha metal raping equipment. It would be good to cut the frame right off of the engine but I don’t want to make any noise there so I’m thinking a hoist is in order. I’ve arranged with one of my friends to haul off all the scrap metal that I don’t need. Let me know what time you’re free this weekend. > [@Help me get in touch (with these people), please!](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-me-get-in-touch-with-these-people-please/1496/2): > > so do u still need help?

We talked about this on Saturday night. Remember??? You said that you want to help, but you don’t know too much about the car and how it works… blah blah blah and that you don’t want to mess things up. I said NOOOO NOOO NO!!! Any help is AMAZING!! And the extra person would be wicked. And to prove to you now, ask anyone that came. I kept telling them that I don’t care what they do, just as long as it comes out. Of course there were a few things that I didn’t want broken or anything, but Angelica Schwarzeneger broke a bolt for example and that didn’t matter shit to me. A lot of the interior stuff got F$%#ed but I didn’t care. ---

It’s clear and warming up so it should be another good day. I’m looking into renting a hoist actually. There was someone on this board that was offering one for something like $150 a day. I’m gonna look into that. > [@Rise Against tonight at the Showplace....](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rise-against-tonight-at-the-showplace/1501/5): > > You dont want to make any noise? what the hell is that? lol! does the engine and transmission come out together wth those cars? or does the tranny have to be dropped first? > > Sunday would be better. Yeah, normally at my house I don’t care about the noise between certain hours, but this is a nice neighbourhood. My Aunt is helping me out by letting me keep the front clip at her house and take up one garage spot. I don’t want to make her neighbours hate her too. It’s ok for me though cause most of my direct neighbours hate me anyway. I’m gonna check my FSM again. I honestly don’t remember if the engine needs to be seperated from the tranny first. When they assemble it at the factory they put the engine and the tranny on the front subframe and lift the engine into body. I think I might want to do something similar for disassembly. > [@WnyDSM?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wnydsm/1498/5): > > I _might_ be able to come by and help at some point on Saturday. I think I’m heading down there this weekend to pick up a transmission for my car, so we’ll see how things pan out, but if I’m around I’ll definately come give you a hand. Working on cars is awesome times. Especially when it’s not your daily driver lol… That would be wicked. I was thinking Sunday cause there’s already a meet here in Brampton on Saturday evening and I don’t want it to conflict. Is there any way you can make it down on Sunday instead? ---

$150 a day for a hoist is a rip, $40 is more appropriate. most cars are assembled from the factory the way you described, but on a FR car u can usually pull the engine and tranny out together through the top. however the 300 engine bay is so cramped, i dont know if it would be feasable. the other option is to unbolt the tranny and drop it, then lift the engine out the top with no transmission. if it is still too cramped then u may end up having to drop subframe and all out the bottom. ---

The hoist is $15 a day from “Kick Ass Matt” on this board, plus delivery, but he is not able to deliver it on Sunday cause he has prior arrangements.
