I would have thought, especially since you pulled the tranny too, that dropping it out the bottom with the K would have been easier than pulling it up. 
Regardless, I'm getting pretty sick of your engine always being pulled before I can check it out.

so I went to a club meeting over the weekend and peer pressure prevailed. Good Guys is coming up this weekend and my club always participates. The challenge was thrown down and now I have 1 week of Chaos to complete.
the car will be complete and running by friday night.
Day 1: the old engine has been broken down to a shortblock and mounted on an engine stand. I started transferring parts to the "new" shortblock. If everything goes right tomorrow, the engine should be ready to swap in tomorrow or wednesday night. Pics to follow after my BlackBerry stops being ghey

on the 4th day of Chaos, it awakened
I started it this evening....... with open headers and scared the service writers
small list for tomorrow: exhaust back on, cooling system, front accessories, interior and test drive.
so it's done, but because of a scheduling/family issue, no Good Guys for me
