should I do the swap and turbo install alone?

when I dropped the motor in the corrado, it was a ******* cake walk, and I didn't need any help, but it mounts up much differently. Its better to ask a simple ******* question than hire a ******* tow truck to pull the **** somewhere to get an extra set of hands.

I very much would have not enjoyed changing diff bushings alone. Also busting the axle nuts loose alone may not have been possible. But a motor swap alone is possible if you have a balance bar on the hoist.

I used an adjustment bar with the hoist when I installed the engine/tranny combo myself. Would have been a huge pita without it.
The diff bushings were not too difficult for me, but I was never able to pop loose the rear axle nuts. I wanted to change the rear bearings once, couldn't get them to budge, so scrapped the idea.
