Removing/installing engine and transmission

[rabendan]

Is there a website or previous post detailing the removal and installation of a 200 with the C4 attached? My Chilton's manual only describes removal and installation of the engine or transmission separately. I don't have the original shop manual.

I find it easier to do them separately, especially if it's in a mustang. Unless you have a lift. Then just bring them down the bottom. =)))

I agree....I always find it easier to do the engine and tranny seperately.

I found it easier to do them together, so long as you remove the hood. Definitely much easier putting them back in together. Here is how I did it:

On early roundbodies, you need a 'picker with a long boom because you need to get the engine almost vertical to clear the rad support with tranny. At almost vertical, the engine will tip up into the boom arm unless your leveler is a few links below the boom.

I like installing together especially with bigger bells of the later engines. Very difficult to access top bell bolts once in.
