First of all: Shoutout to Sean, who deserves the Golden Horns as a prize for keeping all of this going! Awesome job and THANKS AGAIN!!!
To summarize and to put the thread back out there, we have successfully pulled the engine from my E34 while on the hard and with onboard means. Lots of pictures (including of my g/f helping) were lost. Plan is to replace the HBW50 transmission (rebuild after fwd gear was shot), replace oil pan, and a few other things before putting it all back together.
The transmission is now with Hansen in Marblehead. A great town, btw!
The engine is awaiting parts orders (Universal for some parts; KUBOTA D950 for the bulk of it).
I'll keep everyone posted as we go on. Please bug me for more details or the pictures.
