i got a 90 ls cable trans.

 

easiest way is to buy a manual and follow the instructions

 

The easiest way to pull your motor is to pay someone else to do it. That takes no work at all.

Seriously. you have to lable both the motor and the wiring harnes as to what came off where. Rent, Buy, Borrow or steal a hoist. unbolt a lot of stuff. Unplug even more things.

You do need a manual if you need to ask this question, seriously. It will keep you out of serious trouble.

 

Step one: Get a hoist
Step two: unhook any engine/tranny mounts and vacuum lines
Step three: pull it out, tranny and all, from the top.

 

A hoist isnt needed. You can take off the front sub frame and wheels. disconnect the wire harness, fuel lines, throttle and shift cables, axles, and cooling system (dont forget teh heater hoses) and anything else that stays in the car like A/C and pwer steering. Then lower the car till the brakes are touching the ground blast off the motor mounts and let it fall 1-2 inches to the ground. Raise vehicle as high as possible and have 2 friend lift it a little more. Its not heavy with no motor. Then pull in out from under and your done. If you think dropping it on the ground is a bad idea put an old tire on the ground but thats higher that youll have to lift the car. Good luck.

 

ya know whats better then a hoist... A TREE... yeah... ive done it... stop laughing at me.... damn it i said stop.

 

a plasma torch or park the front of it on the train tracks seriously though loosen all your motor mounts discontec all connectors, throttle cable, fuel line, radiator hoses and a tree and a chain hoist work very well, or just rent a engine hoist from orellys or auto zone

This was a while ago.. From now on I use a cherry picker to pull it out..

 

This may not be the easiest way, but I couldn't locate an engine hoist to rent and I couldn't buy one b/c I had not way to store it.

Take the head off first. Get a couple strong friends and lift out the block and transmission. To put it in, do the opposite. It takes a little while longer to do it in pieces like that. And, you have to replace some stuff, like the headgasket, and others misc parts, but, you should do that anyway.

Just an alternative method though. I've taken out three engines doing it this way.

 

forget a hoist, look at this thread... plywood, allll plywood

You can store your cherry picker under your bed if you want. It was a suggestion.
