I suppose there is a chance it is possible.
I have seen and engine pulled without pulling the transmission. But there is no way it is worth it, the engine is just too easy to remove to mess with trying to leave it in. Simple work on the engine is hard to do with the engine installed, any major work and the engine should be pulled. Jim |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Before your first engine drop it seems like a major undertaking. When you finally drop the engine you'll realize it wasn't that hard. Probably a good time to look at the other head as well. |

It was actually a very good learning experience and let me take care of some stuff that I might not have seen otherwise. |
