when i get my crate engine my dads gunna be pulling out the stock engine(88 305 TBI) himself..while having removed many engines before(1st gen maro's) he has not pulled one this "new" before. He will be doing in the back yard since the crappy 1 car garage is being filled by our most recent project car(66 nova ss).....how "easy"(knowing it wont be easy" will this be? what need to be dont before motor is even out of car?any advice is greatly appreciated..thanks

 

get some electrical wire lables and a chiltions and lable every wire,hose,and anything else you see. I did this and went out to the car the other day and looked arround and half of my lables are on the ground and scattered arround in the engine compartment ( I had lables from the sixtys prob ). So get new lables from an electrical suppily house or radio shack.

 

Not really any Differant Than any other removeal/install.


Alot more wires, but just pay attention To where They Go.

not that hard. i think i've pulled engines 6 or 7 times from third gen f bodys. lot of wires but it's not that hard. if you're worried take some pics of everything. buy some wire marking labels from an eletric supplier.
