Engine Removal
Also bag-and-tag everything you take off and keep them all together so nothing gets lost. Don't dispose of a single thing till it's all back together. Don't cut anything either, unbolt or unfasten as needed.
Nothing worse than trying to mount a new engine into a car and find that one special bolt or bracket is missing.

I also drilled holes in a piece of wood to insert pushrods in to keep them in order. Make sure everything goes back exactly as it came out.
Good luck!!

Also VERY good advice. When I did my heads I even tape labeled different length/type bolts inside the bags with locations. Be as descriptive as possible while bagging different components fasteners i.e. intake manifold bolts, runner bolts etc. Pics if necessary.
