Engine Removal
I've always done it out the top. This time I removed the hood (bonnet) but I've also done it without. This picture was a 273.
Unbolt exhaust manifolds, any grounds, and electrical wiring. I use an "engine leveler" to help doing it by myself. I lay a rug across the grill to protect it. Its a lot of back and forth adjusting the leveler - raising the hoist - adjusting the leveler - raising the hoist. Slow and steady wins the race!! Watch for anything you didn't disconnect! I also drain the transmission, then use a rubber band to hold a bag over the extension housing after removing the drive shaft.
