1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"

Princess Valiant said

I just swapped and engine on a 2007 Ford taurus.
They assemble the whole driveline on the sub frame and lower the body over it all so some bolts are impossible to get to without dropping the sub frame. I took the front bumper and headlights off for more access.

Yeah, sometimes you cannot get around how the factory did it. I remember on some of the Ford vans we had to remove the 4 front body to frame bolts and jack the front of the van OFF the frame to get to the two front upper shock bolts. It wasn't on all of them, but a few. It was right in the factory service manual...and there was no other way to do it. I could cut the old ones off with a small 90 degree wiz wheel, but there was no way in hell to get the new ones on without jacking the body up. No way, no how. "Ford, quality is job one" lol
