i'm working in a shop with a hydraulic lift and 2 engine hoists with no luck on getting my deadbeat F out. the rear bracket is holding to the mount, i tried rocking it back and forth, side to side with no sucess. any ideas, pointers, suggestions or comments are welcome. i need this motor out asap HT.

 

Hey hommie! How are you?! I bet you are pissed off!!

Do you have the tranny attached to the motor?
Do you have your exhaust manifold on?

 

Why not unbolt the bracket from the block?

 

sup yes i'm pissed i'm dirty and tired

no ex manifold.

yes i have the trans on

i cant seem to get behind the block to release the bracket from it.

 

Once you get all the bolts off from the bracket, that attach it to the tranny, remove the long bolt that holds it to the rear mount. Pull it upwards, and work it until you get it side ways and take it out.
You might want to lower the engine a little bit first, make sure the tranny has no mount and start to take the engine out.

 

At one point, i had to make the tranny stay lower than the rest of the engine to make sure it would clear without catching anything on its way up.
Sure there's a lot of stuff already removed in the pic above, now imagine that i put the engine back on the car, with radiator and fans installed, and didn't scratch the new paint on the engine bay (with the new header!!).
I wanted to tell you, yes... it CAN come out. Just work it a little bit, pump pump.... check on it.. pump pump.... push it here... pump pump pump... push it there... next thing you know.. that bitch is out..

 

it's out! now to pull an all nighter to get the other one in. i will be hitting this thread back up to ask tranny ?'s . ACT PP/ACT Clutch/Fidanza Fly


i dropped the motor out the bottom btw.

 

hehehe.... i'm happy that you got it!
Peace out!
