This forum is full of threads about pulling Cobra motors. The first one I did was a time consuming learning experience, but not terribly difficult thanks to the internet and a collection of Ford and Chilton's manuals laying around.
This morning I was thinking about my current swap project, reflecting on the work ahead and started thinking about what part of an engine swap I least enjoy - getting those darn bolts between the exhaust manifolds and catalytic converters lose gets me - on every engine removal job. :cryying: It seems that the project gods find new ways to torment me with challenges and there is so little room with a Cobra motor . In the end, I always win ... BUT ... getting those bolts off has become my least favorite part about removing a motor on a Cobra or any other Mustang. Thankfully. that part is done on this project and the rebuilding is under way.
So ... What is YOUR least favorite part about removing a Cobra motor?
