If I was to do it again,and I will be,I'll be removing/installing from the top.I was told that was the way Chrysler did these installs on the line from the top.True?don't know for sure.If you decide to go from the bottom,tape off the shock towers and the rails below them,that is the problem area. John.




The assembly line put the engine in from the BOTTOM , no way they did it from the top unless it was done off the line.




Was told these cars were built complete minus motor and trans,and they were installed off the line at Chrysler.Now I know that would mean no steering column either,but who knows.Just telling what was told to me years ago about these cars.

As far as which way you put a motor in one of these cars,be it top or bottom,you'll still need to pull the column out to clear the drivers manifold,way to tight on that side to deal with it in the car. John.
