Pulling my slant....hood on
OK, so I really wanted to pull my slant without taking off the hood....success! I fabricated a custom puller using a 2" x 10" x 1/2" thick chrome moly steel plate (OK, I tend to over engineer), drilled two holes for 3/8" bolts for the two bosses on the head and a big *** bolt (11/16" thread?) and eyelet. The head of the big bolt was so big I had to use some washers for spacing, but only two short links to the cherry picker. I did pull it without the A904 attached, but I had PLENTY of space, like inches, between the hood and top of the engine before I had to pull it forward and clear the radiator support. Came out in minutes, literally a few minutes. See pics. MidnightSwinger has it now, if you want more specs. PM him. It came out perfectly level, as the big bolt was close to the boss near the middle of the head (thanks for someone who told me the balance point on a slant). OK, I'm on to a 360 magnum...
