<VV> PULLING MOTORs my ramblins

Pulling the engine seperately is not a big problem, it is my standard proceedure for LM Corvairs.  What you didn't know was to be careful of the throwout bearing snout.   One precaution I take is to use three guide pins (bolts with the heads cut off) to guide the engine straight back from the differential until everything is clear.   That is a good tip about putting it in gear to get the input shaft to stay in the transaxle.  Have fun and enjoy your new find.
