Re: Advice on removing engine?

My personal favorite is to remove the entire front clip for that kind of work. It really does not take long: remove the front bumper assy complete at the frame bolts. Unbolt the radiator cradle from where it sits on the frame-2 bolts. Unbolt the inner fenders from the frame rails, about 10 bolts. Unbolt the 2 bolts at the bottom of each front fender to the cowl, and one each at the top. Unhook the main wiring harness from the headlight junction blocks, do the usual unhooking of hoses and extraneous doodads, then get two buddies to help you lift the entire assy up and forward off the car.

Now it is easy to undo the exhaust pipes etc and then pull the engine and tranny together. You know it needs resealing also!
