Tips for engine removal
i have always unbolted the engine and trans, and removed everything from the front of the motor and remove the radiator, i also took my grill off just so im not leaning on it and busting it up, and rolled the car out from under it while jacking up the engine. i let the car do the work instead of yanking on the hoist. i always take them out as a unit. i can pull these out by myself in about an hour to an hour and a half. i find this works great for me. i have always been able to get the oil pan high enough to clear the radiator support and lift on the tailshaft while rolling the car back.
