As per title really.

I know it can be done by taking it through the top, but with a bit of hassle I'd imagine, but I really cant be bothered to disconnect the driveshafts and stuff to take the gearbox out at the same time to drop it out the bottom.

But opinions/input is more than welcome

bottom

Dropping. Easy. No crane required.

I do recommend you get a bread crate on wheels. It then just allows you to slide it out and slide it back in with great ease. I done it with the Pulsar engine, gearbox and transferbox all connected, on my own, and it was a piece of piss.

Genious, who'd of thought a bread crate

Bottom all day long.

Taking engine out the top is a bitch, the angle you have to go at to get the box off in situ is a pig. Trust me.

Don't Even need to take the shafts right out mate. Lever ten out the box and let them hang

It'll still be jacked up and supported. The shafts will just be resting on the ground at one end so no damage will be done

I'd run a bar across the top of the engine bay and hang them level with rope or something.

if youve got a crane its just as easy to take engine out the top as bottom,
i've taken engine out the top on the drive and out the bottom on a ramp, both pretty painless,
(however you'll need an engine leveler to get the angle to clear the gearbox when lifting out the top, i one took an engine out the top just by undoing all gearbox mounts right hand engine mounts and levering the gearbox off with a crow bar (not recommended though) gearbox still had to come out to fit another engine back in

No i didn't, I used a skateboard

When I dropped mines out the bottom it lined up perfectly with the legs of the crane so I could just slide it up the legs of the crane and then pull them both clear once i'd dropped the car back on the axle stands
