To pull an engine.
34 minutes
1968 dodge dart
Slant six with a manual transmission. Engine and trans together
No a/c and manual steering.
1. Get the front of the car on jack stands
2. Drain radiator. I start here so it can be draining while I get on other things
3. Driveshaft . 4 bolts with a 3/8" wrench one is always a challenge because it is in the driveshaft pivot. I usually put a loose yoke in the trans to prevent oil from spilling out.
4. Remove shifter and rods
5. Remove z bar.
6. Crossmember, the two bolts on the mount with a 5/8" wrench, I usually remove two of horizontal crossmember bolts and nuts and loosen the other 2.
7. Motor mount nuts.
8 by now the radiator is ready to go, but will probably still make a mess. Which is why i am pretty much done underneath anyways.
9. Throttle linkage
10. Wiring to the alternator and top of engine, don't forget reverse light switch which has wire clip on the transmission and oil pressure sender wire.
11. Fuel line. Plug it with a bolt.
12. Exhaust pipe. ( might spray with penetrating oil before starting the whole job. )
13. Connect chain on the engine puller and put tension. Remove crossmember which is already loose.
14. Proceed to lift and remove
