Ok now that we got that outta the way. Here is my build.
New Parts:
127bren2 Cams
Forged Kellogg Crank
Forged Manley Rods
Forged CP Pistons
Pypes Headers and H pipe
BMR LCA and UCA and 3rd link (adjustable)
3.2 Pulley (40 Bucks )
One thing that isnt included in the kit from brenspeed is a 8 bolt flexplate, stock is 6 and the new crank is 8 bolt
Also head gaskets, head bolts, main bolts, etc, stock head bolts are one time use, but they are strong so you can order them again to save money
Main studs need to be changed, they are spendy but worth it.
The idea was to drop it out the bottom with the K member and Wheels Still attached.

Drained all the fluids before disassembly, this took about a hour in its self along with disconnecting all the wires and taking the brake lines out. one of the hardest parts was the AC but we ended up draining that, and taking it out with the starter. Also taking out The AC.

Driveshaft out now since we are taking the transmission with it, only way to get it disconnected from the motor
After double and triple checking everything was disconnected we raised the car to seperate it, very slowly and very carefully.

we then used the cherry picker to seperate the K member from motor and Transmission

Once we got the motor off the K-Member we then wiggled the Transmission off.
