Ok, now I’ve taken the front subframe out of the car with the headers, transmission all connected. Man, this was so much easier than any of the conventional methods used to plop in the motor or having to use some garage with lifts. The best part of it is that you can do it by yourself, without the need of somebody else helping you out.

Here are some of the pictures as I started taking apart my engine.

Thats it for now.

A few comments…
The engine tear-down was very simple and straightforward. It was extremely easy to do. I would say, that for you fellow builders, if you have an 8 year old, make sure they’re a part of this process because this process is very easy for them to do. The only exception is that the heads are about 50-ish pounds, each. Yeah. Taking off about 100 pounds of cast iron off this motor is significant. Don’t be surprised on the spill out of coolant and a little oil as you pull the heads off.
