Default Removing Engine & Tranny

Ok. I've been parting out my car and I'm ready to remove the Engine and Tranny.

http://www.typer.us/Progress/ See Front.jpg

There is no front of the car anymore and I don't have a cherry picker or hoist.


Here's my plan...
It involves a movers dolly and two jacks.

So I'm thinking of using a movers dolly http://cgi.ebay.com/Carpeted-Movers-...ayphotohosting

I'm thinking that I can use this to hold the engine and the tranny and I'd be able to wheel it around. It think I might need some wood to close up the open space in the dolly.

So I'd place the dolly under the engine and place a jack under the transmission and another jack under the front cross member.

Then I was going to unbolt the tranny mount, and then unbolt the front cross member. At that point the engine and tranny should be free. I didn't see any upper engine mounts..


I should be able to lower the engine and tranny onto the dolly and then wheel it around any where I want.

So my question is, do you think this will work? Do you see any problems with my plan ?
