The clearance getting my engine *only* out is very close. But it's just 
no cigar. I do have to take the engine and trans out as a unit. Mind you 
as much as they relied on jigs these cars were still handmade. Like you, 
I never had much problem aligning the input shaft and spigot with the 
old setup, but I no longer have the room to take out just the engine. 
I've tried more than once. I'm also not a professional. I just do it a 
lot cause it's enjoyable and my wife knows where I am.
