m30 swapped e30 in need of trans

[Thingtwö]

need to swap trans, i have 260/6 in the car now and i found another 260/6 that im going to replace it with. So heres the question, how much more difficult will it be to swap this trans as opposed to swapping the trans of an m20, and i dont have lift access so its going to be all kinds of fun. do i need to raise/lower the engine? i have removed/replaced a couple engines on a friends eta and the top trans bolts were not that hard to get to, but the ones of the m30 swapped cars look to be a night mare. i just want to get a better idea of what im getting into before i start so i have a better chance of getting it done as quick as possible since the car is my DD. any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

If you have sufficient tools (extensions and universals etc) it shouldn't be a problem.

Drop the back of the engine on an angle (jack the front) to gain access to the bellhousing bolts. there shouldn't be any need to unbolt the engine off its mounts.

Installation is the PITA, 2x people are needed to guide the input shaft into its new home.

Jack the car up as high as you possibly can!!

What engine position are you in?

engine position #3

Top bellhousing bolts are going to be a hassle, You may need to pop the radiator out, pop the engine up and off its rubber mounts to go forward then tilt for better access. It was always going to be a pain.

You'll need a couple of jacks.
