Although I have never pulled an engine from a 4th Gen F-body, I'd imagine that the engine would have to come out with the K member since that's what it's mounted on.

It was explained to me that the motor could be "hung" in place to change the k member. Pretty self explanitory.

No need to pull the motor. It' actually a pretty easy and straight forward swap.

Engine does not need to come out. You can support it with a hoist or a jack and 2x4 across the oil pan. I did it by myself in a day with new poly motor mounts using jack stands in the garage.
