WITH tranny attached. Have a look. Tranny and all, slid right out. Only "extra" stuff we had to remove was the crank pulley, EGR, and both sides of the driver side motor mount. Even left the water pump on. I'm almost willing to be that it would have come out with the ASM headers attached. Once we figured those things out, the motor popped out in just a couple of minutes. We didn't have to twist it sideways or anything. Straight pluck.
