92 Firebird Rebuild Part 7: Drivetrain Removal

In today's video, I work on removing the old V6 engine and automatic transmission from Project 92 so that I can get the engine bay cleaned and ready for paint. I'm working mostly by myself in this one, but with the help of my 2 post lift, a floor jack, and my Harbor Freight rollaround workbench, I'm able to get the trans out in just a couple of hours.

Nason stops by at the end of me pulling the engine to lend a hand. Big thanks to him for the help and for being a good sport.

The plan for this car is to restore the interior, repair the rust, do a complete suspension change, , and LS swap it with a manual transmission.
