Depends what you consider easier, bashing crap outa the k frame skinning knuckles swearing at everyone that looks your way and all that jazz trying to get it in ,or taking an extra couple of hours with beer in hand dropping the donk in from the top. It does help to have a fork lift this is for sure

Once you get the method sorted, installing a k-frame with the engine is easy. I have done it so many times on my hatch I got it down to under 20 minutes.
