i saw this once on bewitched, but the girl twitched her nose and the whole thing vanished. im not sure if she has any experience with stroker motors though.

So its easier to take it out from up top?

for a serious answer:

*unbolt motor mounts, remove radiator/fan
*remove PS lines
*undo wiring including grounds and ground straps (the cherry picker is very effective at breaking these)
*undo bellhousing bolts
*remove smog lines, and undo exhaust but you can leave the headers
*remove air inlet tube and any associated connections there.
*on an A/C car you will need to undo the lines to the firewall.

basically you get to undo everything.

Another thought might be to park in the wrong neighborhood [Razz]
