If you yank out the entire core support I suppose it could happen. I mean, it's been done, but it's a really tight fit.

I put in the motor and the trans together with a 2" body lift and my helper had put in a lot of motors. Not sure if I saved time or not manual is easier to put in though.

Its not bad in a full size, as lomg as u have the hoist that can tilt the engine. As for a B2, it would be hard due to the front crossmember for the tranny. If u have help, Id just go ahead and separate them. Gives u more room to figure things out. I'm puttin my 94 4.0 in my 90 B2 this weekend. I wish u luck.

Ive done the swap out of an 94 explorer. It is a verrry tight fit. Take out the AC cooler, Radiator, and Rad Fan to give you the precious forward inches you need.
