Fourth gen engine removal and installation

[Do Work Son!]

Allright, this is for all the do it your selfers either fortunate enough to have a lift in their RV port or garage, or ballin on a budget like me, doin it the hard way. Do you pull / install the motor on the ground, or lift it.

i used an engine hoist and two jack stands.i unbolted the whole engine craddle and front suspension like 9 -12 bolts.i let the whole assembley sit on the engine hoist legs ands used the hoist to pick up the car set the car on the jack stands and wheel out the engine.

my buddy and i did mine and his out of his garage with no lift. pulled the engine from the bottem. had a wooden dolley to move the k member,engine and tranny around once the car was lifted off. just used an engine hoist and had a strap hooked to the radiator support to lift the car from the k member.

I've done it from the top on my car twice, and a few friends cars too. Its really not all that hard, just very time consuming. Decided to do it from the bottom next time.

Drop it out of the bottom F T W! I haven't done it, but it sounds easier to drop the engine out of the bottom.

I have done it both ways. There both easy but out the bottom is definitly easier you just have to get an alignment when your done.
