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.

Very nice, lots of pictures. The other method to drop the engine is to use 2 floor jacks, one on either side. Remove the wheels, slide a moving dolly under the motor and lower each side of the car until the engine just touches the dolly. Remove the engine bar bolts and the transmission bolts and raise up the car to clear the motor. I feel this is much safer than trying to balance the engine on a floor jack almost 2 feet in the air.
