Re: Engine Removel

of course, make or buy a dolly to put under it to move it around, jack car up, get dolly under the car, lower car down so the weight is on the dolly, unbolt the entire front suspension (k-member and related parts), disconnect wires, hoses, etc. Then attach your engine hoist to something sturdy enough in the front to lift it and use the hoist to pick the front of the car up several feet so you can slide your dolly with everything on it out from underneath. It's been done before, there's some pics floating around here of people doing that with 3rd gens even though its not nessicary. Check out a 4th gen site for better details, but that's it in a nutshell. Might have some luck over at LS1.com
