for the actual seperation I set the engine on some steel dumbells, and put the transmission in a large baking sheet on a garage floor creeper, and pulled it apart.

Here are the only shots I have of it from that side...
These where taken right after taking the engine out, before setting it up on the 4x4's I took the bottom bolts out while I had it raised a little to put them on the 4x4s. I left a bolt in, raise everything up once more, and secured the transmission to an ATV jack, Something like this...
with the engine hanging from the hoist. It gave me an easy way to pull the 2 apart, and be able to roll the trans to the new engine. The ATV jack worked out great. I could raise or lower the trans to line it up correctly and aline with the leveler on my hoist, it made quick work of the whole process.
