Thread: Pulling engine today.

Tweet

Haven't done this in a while so help me out if you can. Here's a list of tasks I've compiled, let me know if I missed anything:

Remove hood, drain radiator & remove hoses, remove alternator, no A/C, no PS, disconnect mech oil pressure line, disconnect starter & label wires, remove distributor, accelerator cable & carb, remove fuel pump but leave line attached---secure, remove driveshaft, remove shifter linkage, loosen motor & tranny mounts, remove exhaust system @ the manifold, ----remove engine & tranny.

Anything else?

Car is a 1970 Corvette, currently w/350 & M-20. Rebuilt 454 & M-22 going in it's place.

Don't forget the fender coverz' to protect that nice silver paint job.

Yeah....coffee to start....beer when your done. beats "what the hell??" later....lol. Nice ride.

Ok, got a question already.

How should I handle the Z-bar? Do I disconnect at the block? Or at the other end where it attaches to the frame?

At the block. otherwise you'll have clearance issues.

Replacing it with a big block eh ! That oughta give it some stonk.
