IMHO, ying or yang. My trans was completely serviceable/useable, thus only pulled the motor for passenger head replacement & rebuild after spitting a plug so driveline not manipulated.
it could go exactly opposite if your trans is the culprit.

Thanks, but what I'm talking about is the time saved doing the work. You'd only have to unbolt the transmission from the engine once, and only have to bolt them back together once, if you did them at the same time. If you did the engine by itself, then a month later the transmission, you'd have to do that part twice.
I think it's easier to remove the transmission when removing the engine, because it's easier to get to the top bolts with the intake manifold off the engine. That sorta thing. Are we talking about saving an hour, or half a day, or what? That's what I'd like to know from those that have done this kinda work before.

Is your tranny working fine? If money was no object I would agree just do both but why spend the money Because of a hypothetical malfunction. Yes it would save time but is the expense worth it? Only you can make that judgement my friend. Either way best of luck to you and hope all goes well with your expo’s “heart” surgery lol

If I understand the question correctly, it's a ***** to undo the top bolt by the Starter. I would pull the engine and Trannie together. When putting back a Reman engine, I would then attached the Trannie to the Engine and drop in at an angle. I will fit with a quarter of an inch to spare.
