o wise and venerable forum!
it is time to pull the motor + transmission out of this car. - 68 fury 440 / 727 / AC.
the only motor ive ever pulled was out of an 85 CRX, so that doesn't even count. its half a motor, it sat sideways, involved pulling the left front wheel off and lifting the body up and over, the entire procedure involved nothing but 10mm wrenches.....I know that is not this.
so I'm pretty green on how to go about this on some real steel.
heres where I'm at:
ive undone all the small crap -
up on top:
fuel lines undone
carb out lift plate installed
all vacuum lines undone (carb, dist, brakes, crankcase vent hose, etc.)
wiring undone (ALT, dist, AC)
radiator + shroud removed, upper/lower hoses pulled
AC hoses to core/evap under dash undone
carb/kickdown linkage removed
underneath:
shifter linkage removed
kickdown linkage removed
speedo cable undone
to/from cooling lines undonw
rear xmission support thru crossmember bolt loosened
still to do:
manifold/exhaust pipe flanges
motor mounts
u joint/ propeller shaft
scribe and remove hood
trying not to die:
what else is there to undo before trying to pull?
how does the ujoint go together? is there a keeper or something I cant see yet?
whats gonna fall on me and crush me when I least expect it?
FSM says undo crossmember - the one with the torsion bars? yo no comprendo.
does the starter have to come off?
I have to go get an impact wrench, those manifold flange bolts aint gonna go quietly...
thanks for the help and advice forum!
