installing a 253 engine in a lc-lj torana

hello fellow torana enthusiasts i have a spot of bother again i am doing an engine conversion in my lj coupe and was wondering hows the best way of gonig by it as at the moment im thinking put the fron end up on ramps and lowering the engine and box that way but i have heard the cross member doesnt line up???????? and you have to unbolt the front suspension?????is this true if so is there any way around this????????????

thanks

i raised my car up about a foot high then dropped the whole lot in box and all but it was tight next time im dropping the front end out its much easier and doesent take very long to unbolt.

i also took the r/covers off and also front bottom pully heres mine so far

Yep i agree definatley drop the front end out its not hard at all easy if you have access to a 2 post hoist but can be done without.
