In Reply to: Pulling engine.. need help posted by Chris Hickersberger on June 17, 2000 at 18:09:18:

Chris,
I've pulled a few of these engines out, and it actually isn't that hard . . .

I left the engine complete while doing it, and once pulled the engine WITHOUT the tranny . .. I wouldn't suggest that on these 6's because the bellhousing is tough to get to. So . . . you "could" just pull your radiator out, disconnect all heating/cooling lines, pop the wire harness off the ECU under dash, feed that through the firewall and keep it with the engine, and pull her out!

The other things are just sort of "givin's" that you will see as you start.

Oh yeah, disconnect your shift linkage and guibo joint . . .or if it's a parts car like mine, hehe. . . cut your driveshaft in half, and use a hammer and the hoist to remove your linkage (I was in a BIG HURRY!).

Just start doing it and you'll see everything you need to do, it's rather easy :)

-Richard
