The first time I dropped my engine was in 1998 for an engine rebuild and it took four hours to unhook and remove. Since then, i have pulled the motor four times. The most recent engine drop was for a blown airbox that was two years ago, and it took just over an hour to remove. Initially, I removed the airbox by doing a partial engine drop and it was back breaking work. So, I decided to pull the motor for the reinstall of the airbox and to do a smoke test of the CIS vacuum lines before reinstalling of the motor. For the first engine drop in 1998 I built a "U" shaped dolly (found the plans on Rennlist). The "U" shaped dolly allowed me to remove the jack once the engine was dropped. I still have the dolly stored in the garage waiting for the next time its needed.
