We appreciate your donation and were sorry we didn't response rapidly-

You don't have to remove the engine-all you got to do is remove the affected cylinder head from the top where that gasket is-its gonna be tedious but can be done

"Richey, it can be done that way, or if you have a lift or can jack and stand the body high enough, you can drop the cradle and remove the motor and tranny, with the axles and all... remove the three nuts at the top of the struts, unplug harnesses, and lower it all with a good floor jack. The exhaust at the back side will be your hardest challenge.
