∙ 9y agoYes, but you have to remove the automatic transmission housing, and you have to replace the Torque Converter with a standard transmission clutch that matches the type of transmission with which you are mating the engine.
Begin by removing the engine wiring harnesses. Remove the motor mount retaining bolts. Disconnect the engine from the transmission. Lift the engine out.

I thought I could remove and replace the transmission in my Blazer, I did get it out but I didn't want to put it back in so I paid a local shop to come and get the blazer, transmission, and all the parts that had to be removed to get the transmission out and finish the job. I would suggest that since you are asking this question, maybe you would be better off going to a transmission shop in the first place. Mine is an automatic, a standard transmission would be much easier.
I've always taken the engine out, leave transmission in. It probably depends on the shop equipment you have.
Only the transmission needs to be removed. One day.
