That is optimistic in the extreme! You can't get the mount out with weight on it, so you have to jack up the back of the transmission to remove it. I found that out when I forgot to re-attach the shifter cable after putting the engine back in the first time

The bolt behind the downpipe is going to require a special took I think. Its actually not that painful to move that downpipe on mine as I have the SAI removed so I can get to the top manifold bolt, but on a stock car you'd really want to do it without moving the downpipe so you need a super-short T27 I think.

As the Titanic is still on the lift (don't ask) I can't check for a week or two so I'm just going to have to live with it on mine for a bit
