motor

98BAGT · June 16th, 2011, 10:06 PM

just giving some advice to the other guys with 4.6s in their cars. if you havnt pulled your motor yet, here are some things you definitely wanna do.
-try to get use of a lift it makes the job 900 times easier
-your gonna wanna drop the exhaust and the trans(no trans makes installation a lot easier)

im just saying all this because i spend 5 hours dropping my motor back in today. taking it out from unplugging the batter to putting it on the engine stand took me 5 hours. i learned my lesson, next time use a lift and pull the trans too. all i did today was get the motor in sitting on the motor mounts and kinda lined up with trans, and all that took 5 hours.

98BAGT · June 16th, 2011, 10:36 PM

They best is when the wrench slips and dirt and debris and the odd time the wrench hits you in the face.

its not that hard to drop engine without a lift. i can have one out from in car to bare block in 3.5hrs or so.
