Got the engine out this weekend. It only took two months since starting! It sucks only being able to work on it a day or two every couple of months. Makes progress seem even slower than it is. Oh well.
Got held up taking the transmission off. I got it to separate about half an inch and now it doesn't want to budge. Need to read up. Starting to think I must have missed a bolt somewhere.
The passenger side motor mount is stripped out. Previous owner put a long carriage nut/bolt in there instead. Might be able to re-tap it and get the correct bolt in there. Drivers motor mount is pretty rusty, will see if I can get one in better shape from the junk yard. Radiator top mount/brackets are like that too.
If someone knows the specs on the bolts used to mount the trans to the block I could use that. I need to get some bolts for the engine stand and forgot to bring the trans bolts with me. Trans bolts are too short for my stand I think.
