Re: Engine Removal

I pulled the whole front clip for my swap, but if you pulled the Radiator and Grille, you should have no problems.

Just be sure you can get to all of the trans bellhousing bolts first (tight and covered in decades of road grime). I tried to pull the engine and trans together but the tunnel wouldn't clear the hump in the trans and had to undo the front body mount bolts and jack the body up ~2" for it to drop out as one unit. Probably a lot easier if split, but I also couldn't get to a few bolts when I partially tried.
