Pulling 7.3/ZF6 together

[JD3020]

Working on my 450, 01 2wd. Can i pull the engine/trans out the front together, or will i be better off splitting them? Using a forklift so weight isnt an issue.

ive pulled a couple 7.3 super duty engines and thought about it, but never tried it. I really don't think theres room enough though. the engine has to come up so high for the oil pan to clear the cross member, I don't think it would be able to do it with the trans still connected. Maybe im just doin it wrong, I know theres more than one way to skin a cat.

I've done it. Absolutely everything needs to be taken off first. Turbo will hit and the oil filter will get in the way but otherwise just tilt the trans down and sneak it out.
I even took a picture because someone told me i cant do it lol
