Dropping the tranny in a rear wheel drive is easy with just jack stands, front wheel drive, not so much. That said, I have collapsable engine stand/block and tackle (can lift with block and tackle, remove 2 pins, rotate, lower onto stand) that works great for small blocks, never tried on a big block. When I go on roadtrips, I usually have all tools necessary to repair or swap parts for nearly any component on the side of the road. And I'm just a shade tree mechanic, not even a professional. It would amaze most people what you can fix with just a good socket set.
