Pick-A-Part Truck Engines

MuuMuu101 said

Just curious. I don't have the tools, know-how, or the man power to pull an engine, yet. Just thinking for the future. I'm going to head over to a local one that has a 75 Valiant and a 78 Cordoba. Going to see if they've got bbp spindles/hubs still on them. Let me know if anyone is interested in anything. I'll check my phone when I get there.

whewwww ...before you said that i was going to say WHAT! an afternoon!!!.......should be an hour tops.

but sounds like you need to get some tools .....dang too bad i wasnt closer that would be easy in a pick apart yard bcoz they usually have the lift thingers on wheels and you can get them to bring out the forklift once its out.

i wouldn't waste time on exhaust bolts on a junkyard pull .......take a hack saw, slice the exhaust pipe about 5- 6 inches down from the flange. takes 5 minutes to saw through both pipes plus you get the flanges that way and take your own lift chain .....so they have something to grab with the forklift...makes it faster for them LOL

usually i spray paint a small piece of lift chain so they know its mine and wont try to rob it after they put the engine down in your truck.



yank that baby quick....if you push the forklift guy along after its out they usually get you loaded up faster in front of the slower ppl ....i do it all the time LOL
