OP seems to be taking the flames well and it's just some good-natured bashing, I see no reason to close it.
OP, what year/model is your Mustang and what do you have done to it?

I pulled an LT1 out of a buddys camaro like this nothing wrong with that, I gota admit I was a lil shocked at first when I saw how we where gona do it..... I don't see how you can take it through the top without a bracket that bolts to the intake
I would feel safer with the ramps in the rear vs. jackstands

My car is a 98 Cobra it has a march fluid dampner, electric water pump, k/n filter, 4.10's with moser 31 splines, and a little shot of giggle gas
Oh and you wouldn't happen to know why it still shows I have 0 posts do you? Thanks

Thanks, Like I said earlier to someone who has never seen a motor pulled that way it looked unstable to me but then i was notified that it is common on the f-bodies so I understand.

The only fail in those pictures is the fact that they have nothing holding the struts together with a strap, letting the rubber brake lines hold all of that weight is not good.

especially if everything is getting replaced( k-member, whole front suspension, engine etc, transmision) just worked out to my advantage.

With a lift and a friend the k-member can be dropped in 45 minutes, if you've done it before.
I've done it in my driveway in just over an hour.
Pull the engine out from the top that quick
