K frame help

Bigmacdak said

I would like to remove the K frame from the duster so I can get it ready for the tiss'. Can you guys give me any pointers for a smooth removal? Can I keep the motor/trannie attached & drop it out the bottom like the factory did?

Also if you guys have any exploded views of the area in question, please share. I looked, but as usual, I found nothing....

Thanks, Matt W.

...if you just want to remove the suspension and not the engine, you can rig an engine hanger. I used a pair of 2x6s across the inner fender lips, and allthread rods running down into the carb mounting holes (I have an iron intake -- might not want to do this with aluminum).

Didn't flex a bit when it took the weight of the drivetrain.

If you remove the hood, of course, you can use a chain hoist from the rafters. But the hanger let me move the car, if I wanted (with the front on a floor jack or a pair of dollies).

Just a thought...
