Hey everyone! Been lurking in here for about 3 years now. I finally bought a car, a clean 2001 cobra I payed 2700 for with a locked up motor. I've never done a write up before, so bear with me if I make a few grammatical errors or technological ones, but I can't seem to find a good write up for taking the motor out of the top. I'm going to try and keep updating this thread and taking pictures as I go.
Basic things to do at first:
Disconnect Battery
Drain Oil, Coolant
Pull Wiring Harness
Remove Intake Piping
Remove Midpipe
I pulled off the starter trying to get more clearance. Not sure if required. You'll probably need a swivel.
I removed my transmission, not sure if its required but with as wide as this thing is I'm going to try and make it easier on myself pulling it.
I removed my intake manifold to put the tool in the valley to pull the motor
Up Until this point I haven't really been taking many picture as this is common knowledge stuff. Expect pictures as I get more involved in pulling.
Any questions or suggestions feel free to post up! Thanks.
