Removing engine and transmission as one piece?
I am wondering if it is possible to remove the engine and transmission from an 88 XJ without disconnecting them. I am just going to be putting them back into another one, so I would love to be able to leave them together.
Also, if there is an easy way to connect the hoist chains to the engine, please let me know. I have found about 8 different ways on this forum which make me think there are no defined lift points.
Thanks for the help, these forums have been a life saver.

ya u can pull them together, its a lot easier if u take out the both radiators and the whole front clip on it. i just pulled the motor tranny and T-case all still connected together and it wasnt that bad actually

the way i did it was by removing the A/C Compressor/ alternator bracket and us one of the bolt holes that was closest to the front. the one on the back i removed the header bolt that was farest back and used that. i just had a floor jack on the T-case and me and my dad just walked it out all in one peice

I do it all the time. I just wrap chains around the manifold , the a/c pulley, and the bellhousing, then put bolts through the chains up by the hook after I hook it up to the hoist, so that it can't slide/tilt.
