I bought my z28 with the 383 engine out, so I have to put it back in. I went from the top. Took the motor mounts off and turned the engine alittle sideways and had it bolted up in about 2 hrs., but the tranny was already in the car.

It can be done either way. But from what I have read (haven't done it myself) it seems that the consensus would be to drop it out the bottom.
