Make sure you unhook the headers from the pipes before unhooking them from the heads. You are going to want them out of the way when you pull the motor anyway. To remove the headers, you may have to remove the bolts from the front of each exhaust tube, loosen the aft bolts from each exhaust tube and translate the entire header forward to gain enough access to remove the aft bolts.
Also, take the time to remove the driveshaft to give yourself more room to translate the tranny aft and ensure it is clear when you pull the block. It may give you enough room to pull the engine without pulling the radiator. Make sure you protect the radiator with cardboard (or sheet metal if availible) and be careful. Sometimes it is just easier/faster to spend the time removing it altogether.
Again, anyone know if all Ford computers will "learn" the cam? |
