[size=3]How high do I need jack the car up to take the engine out from the bottom? Does anyone have a diagram for removing the engine....what bolts & where to remove, want to drop tranny & motor at once...hopefully.
Also where do I look or go to get a "repair kit" for the HELL HOLE. Told there is a metal replacment type piece? Thanks all, M&T914 |

The rear of the car needs to be about 2" higher than it will go with regular jack-stands on the "donuts" and the front wheels on the ground. That's assuming you pull the intake and oil filler off the engine, but forget the dipstick (D'OH!) and have the engine sitting on a floor jack with a piece of wood for a cushion. Then, if you're motivated, you can push the back of the car up a little higher by hand while your buddy pulls the engine the rest of the way out.
If you put the engine down on a dolly, or a piece of wood, or some such, you'll have more clearance. If you have any question at all about the clearance available, just remove everything from the top of the engine. Carbs, manifolds, distributor, oil filler, dipstick. You need less clearance that way. Make sure to cover the openings so you don't drop dirt or tools or fasteners down into the engine. --DD |
