Removing engine from top side help.....
I am getting ready to pull my motor tonight and need some help. Does anyone have a list of parts that have to be removed?
- Remove X pipe
- Remove center chassis support
- Remove headers
- Remove starter
- Drain fluids
- Drop front suspension cradle
- Remove front shocks
Any pics to help?

phil, if you are carefull you can loosen the front crosmember bolts until they are almost out of thread{not actualy removeing it}once the pan can come forward that is all the clearance you need,the AC compressor is a PITA,the one stud comes out with a 7or8mm wrench ,you"ll have to leave it in the houseing as it will not come out{the framerail is in the way}MAKE SURE you have this stud in the compressor houseing on the way back in,you won"t get it in afterwords,don""t forget the 10mm allen head on the tQ tube{this might be auto"s only}hope this helps,don"t forget the PS lines! good luck,steve BTW why"s it comeing out?BIG motor replaceing it??? :seeya
