It must have some problem, or you wouldn't be pulling it...

I don't know how many times I've been told you can't do that to a 3rd gen. Every time I was under the car, I tried to figure out why you couldn't just unbolt the entire front suspension.

Perhaps this is the "correct" way to change the front engine frame mounts during a V6 to V8 conversion...

I was thinking the same thing. I looked at the picture and thought "what the??". I suppose to some people it's easier to pull the engine out the bottom.

I was gonna lock this, until I saw the suspension. Thats how the factory did it.

Must have worked on too many 4thgens, figured why not do a thirdgen the same way

Might as well it's already out. No reason not to.
