It's a very cool car and a cool project, it takes very good fab skills to make a car like that but it's completely useless until you put like two 700+hp engines in it. What is the max hp a single engine can make in a dsm?? about 1300whp maybe so IMO it doesn't worth all the trouble if you don't...
I don't know the way you will do it but I always removed mine with trans and by dropping it under the car instead lifting it by the top. I find this method easier but that's just me.
