[mkiv] install engine+tranny or separate?? opinions?

[Bill Perkins]

If you are completely alone it is easier to instal the tranny first
and they hook the engine to it once the engine is in the bay area. If
you have help you can hook engine and tranny together and lift it over
the front of the car and install it. This way engine and tranny take a
bit more muscle to manipulate the whole mass where as if they are
apart a single guy can more easily manipulate each of the engine and
tranny to match up the mating surfaces.

What I am saying is can you count on your help to be strong and move
things around a bit too?

Hope I helped some.

Bill who is used to doing the whole shebang by himself..
