We used to trash all the stuff & replace it with a 327 cu.in. 4 bbl & 4 speed manual Muncie & 12 bolts cut to size. Everything was reinforced & body was cut for big wheels & tires. Total road screamers.
Keep us updated, interesting what you will find , iv always put engine in first then from underneath transmission, with the automatic same engine first then converter then bell housing then offer the box to the bell housing providing you line up the tangs on the oil pump drive , thanks for sharing,
Earlier this year, I had to move the cross member when I removed the oil sump. Getting to some of the bolts, on the member, next to the rack's control system was a right pain. (I'm note sure if RHD Stags have this issue) While the engine is out, I'm going to remove the bolts of the cross member and weld them to the short metal plate. That way I don't need to get a spanner on the bolt head. I plan to to something similar to the bolts for the engine mounts.

I put in this gearbox from underneath. Now I have the hoist and bar, I will do it this way. The box was very heavy and space is limited.
you can also slacken the bolts on the front subframe which would drop the steering rack.

@@sujitroy I'm glad you mentioned that, I forgot that I welded mine up when I took my engine out and dropped the subframe.
