Maybe it's just cause this is my first attempt at dropping it all out the bottom but I really think it's never taken me remotely this long to get a motor out.
If you run any sort of decent motor mounts, the motor will not move even with the trans mount off.

Out the bottom is much easier and less of a hassle.

correct, those two at the top are such a PITA and another reason why i didnt want to do it from the top was because about 4 months ago i took the trans out and put it a built one, i got sick of touching those bolts

yepp, next step is to put it on a stand drop the pan and pour a gallon of oil into a big (clean) pail and run a hose to the oil pump and prime it with a drill and see where my blockage is
