I mostly made this frame because I was going to be working on gravel but also because I HATE doing the Jack Shuffle, supporting an engine on top of a jack with one hand while trying to get it to mate to the trans... If you're interested: http://www3.telus.net/public/tabe/vanagon/hoistframe.jpg This is what I used to support the trans while the engine was out. Worked like a charm and took nearly five minutes to make. http://www3.telus.net/public/tabe/vanagon/transsupport.jpg
