ive never done one through the bottom. Its not hard to do it out the top. Just need a cherry picker.

look at my avatar, that the way i did it. Jack it up take off front tires then set the rotors on boards to give you more clearance. Just gotta get underneath and drop tranny first.

yea hay foxman, is this for van??? and as far as the removal and instalation, its stupid easy through the bottom!!!pull the k member and let the motor come with it!!! i used some jacks and just lowered it off of them, real simple and probably a bit easier because you can lign up the tranny while the motor is out of the car and it gives you more room to work with the top tranny bolts obviously because there isnt any clearance issues with the fire wall!!!

and if it is for van, then you can use my motor. i just moved and need it out of my old garage. its still in great shape, but could use some cleaning up!!!
