I recently removed the engine on my 73 for the first time. I used Wayne Dempsey's write-up from Pelican and it was very helpful. But I would have benefited from more detail to take some of the remaining mystery out of the procedure. Attached is a pdf of what I did in my engine removal. I thought I'd post it for any other newbies that are contemplating doing this for the first time. If there are any mistakes, please let me know. Special thanks to Brad Smith from Rennlist for compressing the file so that it would be small enough to attach to this thread.

Just how bad are your longs? Apparently you have some major surgery ahead.

Just how bad are your longs? Apparently you have some major surgery ahead. Just about as bad as it gets. I've been doing disassembly and have discovered that someone repaired, and not well, the lower part of the inner longs from the wheel well to the cross bar. Pulled the sound deadening pad off of the firewall yesterday and saw that it had held water and rusted the upper firewall. |
