Take a block of wood and place it under the tranny, or a floor jack while you wiggle the tranny off. The atv jack is great because you can wheel the engine where ever you want.
One other thing, I have a 72 with SSi's so when the engine sits on the plywood it sits nice and flat.

Clutch/tranny work is what I am planning on doing. I was hoping to be able to the leave the engine on the jack the whole time. Do you have a picture of the way you attached the wood to the jack? I have stock heat exchangers on my engine so I think it will rest fine on the wood platform as well. I really like the idea of being able to move the engine around with that jack.
