Having never done this before, I've been reading my shop manual and I bought that video from Clark's (show's a r&r of an early).  I thought that the engine/transaxle cradle from Clark's and a floor jack would be great purchases but Clark's doesn't sell the cradle anymore.  Does anyone have one for sale?  Or can anyone recommend an alternative?

The coupe is a 4 speed and the sedan is a powerglide so the transmissions will go back into the cars they came out of.  I know about the brass bushing in the crank of the 4 speed that has to be removed before the engine swap but I'd appreciate any tips you care to share.
