[T3] engine removal


This is actually a response to Dave Burden.  My apologies to the list for 
sending it to everyone, but perhaps there is some general interest 
content here.

I tried to send this message in reply to an email I got at a little 
used address.

Dave,

While trying to install a new modem, I happened to log into our PC 
Users Group BBS and discovered a message from you.  Please update 
your address book to include THIS address and delete that old one, I 
never use it, and seldom check it.

I believe you were asking if you should support the rear of your 
tranny if you remove the engine.  On 69- type 3s, it is necessary to 
support the rear of the tranny whenever the engine is removed.  This 
is done to avoid stress on the tranny nose cone which might otherwise 
break it.

I do this by wrapping a rope around the rear of the tranny and over a 
30" 2 x 4 which I place fore and aft across the engine opening.

Jim
