Turbo Supra 1968 Engine/transmission removal

Take your hood off obviously set it some where safe. Disconnect all lines and wiring. Disconnect rear driveshaft and slide out of the tranny. Make sure you drain it the best you can so you don't make a mess pulling it out. Don't forget to disconnect the shift linkage either and the speedo cable. Disconnect downpipe and pull out of the way. You can pull the engine with the turbo and manifold still on. You will have to take off the upper intake plenum to get at some wires and hoses. Also the throttle body and idle air control valve has to come off. Then for the motor mounts take the nut off of the bottom by the control arm. Then hook up the engine hoist put a jack under the tranny drop the crossmember then slowly jack it up and pull out at the same time. Really not that hard I have done it tons of times and I can usually get everything disconnected and taken apart and out within about an hour and a half and that is working with the car on jackstands and basic handtools.
