I came across a good used Y 292 that sounds like a good candidate for a rebuild. I fabricated a cradle to haul it and have a cherry picker to remove it. My question is, when removing a Y-block with manual transmission attached, is it ok to lift the motor and transmssion by backing two of the intake manifold bolts using them to remove the eng/trans? Its several hundred miles away and the seller assures me its ready to lift out of the truck. Leaving tommorow. Hoping to get some advise on the fastest hookup without having to remove a lot of parts.
