Rough guestimates on removing engine?
Re: Rough guestimates on removing engine? Sounds good, will be looking forward to seeing the pics. I've pulled them out the top before, but I think I'm ready to try it this way next time.
Re: Rough guestimates on removing engine? is there a complete write up anywhere for pulling it out the bottom? By complete I mean something like one of JMX's install writeups, down to every bolt and wire...?
Re: Rough guestimates on removing engine? Raughammer's wasn't a complete writeup, but had some good pics that show you how it's done. I'm not sure what happened to his site. You should email him.

Re: Rough guestimates on removing engine? My service manual has one. It isn't too bad, but the only thing you gotta take into consideration is that the sub frame comes out with it.
Makes the engine easy to move around =P

Re: Rough guestimates on removing engine? Sounds like Inspector12 has this procedure of dropping the engine out the bottom down pat. He mentioned that he has some picures that need to be scanned in. Hopefully he can get them scanned and post a writeup.
Everyone keep bugging him until he does...
LOL or maybe volunteer to host the pictures / writeup.
I have searched a lot and haven't found a good writeup on pulling the engine from the bottom. I recall seeing a site a while back where a guy pulled his engine from the bottom - he had a lift in his garage!, but I can't seem to find this site.
I would love to see a jmX style writeup of pulling the engine out the bottom.

Re: Rough guestimates on removing engine? I think most shops pull from the top cause its easier to move the car out of the shop once the motor is out, cause most of the time the car is waiting on parts or money before they continue. I do agree with pulling from the bottom, it does help if u have a lift but i heard people use the engine lift to lift the front of the car so the motor just rolls out with the wheels.

Re: Rough guestimates on removing engine? I cant' believe that no one has made one of these yet...with as long as our cars have been out, you would think there would be a great one somewhere...a JMX style write up would rock...
