for those who have pulled the engine in a tight garage - how much room do i need in front
of the vehicle? i have a pretty small one car garage and i'm hoping it's large enough for my engine pull.
all advice would be appreciated.

You need about 4 feet up front to pull it out. I had a similar situation, where we had little room.

So we backed it to where the engine cleared the frame rails and then turned her sideways.

Moving the hoist is easy. It can be done with one person, but there are certain steps that would be
really helpful if you had a friend... I'd pull the engine out with the trans, then take off the transmission once it is all on a platform.
