Engine removal

[Cashbum]

What's the best way to pull the engine whole. No trans though. I don't really wanna take the intake off just yet. I usually mount the chains on the heads somewhere on previous 5.4 removals. I've seen people use ratchet straps but can't quite recall where or how many they use and how it's mounted to the engine hoist

I pulled mine today, found it easiest to drop the engine and Trans together via unbolting the k member. Of course you need access to a lift. I originally tried to lift from the top and my straps (motorcycle tie downs) started breaking, said F&$@ it, I'm dropping the k-member.

I wish I could do that but of course I have no lift lol. I may just take the top end off and use bolts on the heads

I took mine out the top, hood and intake off...it was actually not too bad. Went back in through the top pretty smoothly also. Used an engine leveler with the hoist and that made it easier...connected that to 4 points in the engine valley.

Where are you guys lifting if removing engine whole? My motor is ready to remove but the points I have seen looks kinda risky for things breaking. I guess if I have to pull intake to be safe I will

Remove the lower intake and grab the block. There are two holes in the front and two in the rear better off safe then sorry.

Sounds like the plan I am going with. No since going half ass now with my build as deep as it going

Damn that looks a little sketchy on the wood blocks. I might of bought taller stands

When you guys removed your engines, did you remove the engine isolator brackets? or just removed the nut from the top and left the brackets attached to the engine?

Works better if you use a train. The engine will be taken away down the tracks for good.

Yanked mine out the top hood off and trans dropped under car lifted on jack stands.

Too bad you are not closer to AL!! Did you pull from above or underneath? You have any pix, tips, anything to help someone out?
