what is the easiest way to take the motor out of these cars. iv looked into doing it from the bottom and it seems to be the quikest and easiest way to do it. does anyone disagree

 

bottom the whole way...definitely the easiest way

 

ive taken mine out of the top, it was easier for me.i didnt have a lift or a chain so i didnt pull the front subframe

 

i dont have a lift either. about how long did it take you to pull from the top

 

about 2 hrs, start to finish.were actually taught to remove engines from the bottom cause it saves time, but thats if youre in a shop.For me its just easier to take the hood of and disconnect it from the trans,engine harness, and mounts.Its faster from the bottom buts its also more work to do, but its really all up to you.
