<VV> SMOKIN LOADSIDE: Need to pull engine

[Frank DuVal]

It is much easier to drop the whole drivetrain than to remove just the 
engine on an early. Only three nuts hold it in.

Of course there is a lot of other stuff to disconnect, like wires, axles 
and transmission linkage. But it goes quick. Lots quicker then trying to 
balance the engine while engaging the splines on the input shaft.

On lates I still drop the engine only. Then I do not have to fool with 
the strut rods between the differential and wheels.
