Re: Whats the best way to pull the engine?

You have to remove the fans,radiator,water pump,power steering lines, y-pipe, intake manifold,steering linkage, torque converter bolts, and ofcourse motor mounts. Then you hoist pull forward (making sure the tranny is supported with a jack.) and twist to a 45 degree angle. You will need to take out the hood strut bolts to get the hood open enough. You will need to have the engine hot tanked and re-bored to 383 specs. Compression will depend strongly on what cam you decide you want to use and head porting stage. His car has a PCM not ECM and it can still be used but will need to be programmed to work with his mods. Is he planning to use a power adder as well and how much power is he looking for?
