C cbarr300 Member Jun 6, 2006 746 0 17 goose creek, SC Mar 2, 2007 #1 Mar 2, 2007 #1 Just wondering if it's possible to put the engine in our cars with the trans attached? I messed my thumb up and the doc put me in a cast..so I'd rather not do too much wrenching under the car if I don't have to. I just wanna hurry up and drive it again. Thanks guys
