Worked on a lot of Econolines, take the whole front end off and pull the engine out with an engine hoist by the damper with a homemade adapter.

My 2002 Dodge I was able to get the motor out the front by taking out the cooling and upper tie bar, but had to pull the intake to make room. It is tight but can be done.
