I was suprised how easy it was to move the engine when unbolted from dogbone. My mechanic showed me how to do it with a 2X4 wegding it carefully against block and firewall. Had to use short length of less than 18 inches to fit in engine compartment, but the lever sure helps. Once moved, another short lenght of 2X4 on edge (3.5 inches) is all thats need to keep engine forward. This works best with helper.
