Take the air out of the front tires and jack up the rear end. This will help provide extra clearence across the rad support. Pull them together. If you want to only pull the engine, I have heard of guys placing a floor jack under the trans during removal and then wiring the tranny up with a thick wire (coat hanger?)to the wiper motor to movr the car around.

Thanks folks. I plan on spending all day Friday on this. If Murphy don't interfere too much, I should have it done then.

Well, thanks to you all I got the engine out today. It was more work than I anticipated, but I guess that's where Murphy came into play. I hate to admit this, but I wasn't aware that I needed to remove the starter. I had removed everything according to the manual, which did not mention removal of the starter. The engine kept getting hung up on something, and sure enough, there it was. My problem now is that I apparently need to remove the flywheel before I can attach the engine to the stand. I can't get those bolts loose. I managed to get one of the 6 bolts loose.
I guess I need to hit them with the impact wrench. That won't break them, will it? Also, how do I know if the flywheel needs resurfaced?

Thanks again for all your help!

While it is out you may as well resurface it and replace the clutch,pp throwout bearing and pilot bearing. I have changed the engine in my 340 4 speed demon by myself a few times. Power steering pump is a [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean] on the fingertips. Take it slow when going in. Replace the motor mounts with good ones. At least the drivers side.

Thanks, posest. Already have new motor mounts on it, and also a new clutch and throwout bearing ready to install.

Where is the pilot bearing located?
