Is it common now to just drop the entire subframe assembly like you would on a late model car? It seems to me like that might would be easier.
Just curious before I go and cause myself lots of extra work later.

Most cars I build I always make sure you can access the bolts if you pull the trans mount, the cross member and dip the assembly back a bit. I can use a long extension and swivel socket to get to the bell bolts. Note, if you move back, make room to dip.
I like to drop subframes if the paint is nice. If I can get away with it i'll just pull the trans first then pull the engine.
