I have the WIS and it looks like it's a five hour ordeal. The question is are their any short cuts.
It's a parts car, and the tranny has already been pulled(by PO)
I plan to use the engine down the road in my current driver and I don't want to create a bunch of head aches for myself by cutting the wrong corners. But from what I can see, it looks like the only thing holding it in there is the engine mounts.
Two or three bolts, and a knife to anything else and it should be done. I'm i completely wrong here?
Or are their things I shouldn't cut because they are worth something or will be when my current one breaks and the dealer wants $300 for it
Thanks guys
Oh, it's in a 124

don't mess up the wiring harness... Could be useful...

Dont cut anything !! take the extra time, it is worth it. Air con & oil hoses are always handy to have.

Remove lube oil cooler with engine. 2X no cutting.

The lower wire harness is easy to pull with the engine, glow-plug harness also, main upper is buried so you'll probably cut it or leave it.

Pretty simple IMO, I agree with keeping the oil cooler on the engine. Save the hard vacuum line to the brake booster also, the nipple can break off from leaning on it, nice to have a spare.

not really the answer I was hoping for, but you guys know best, no cutting it is. Was I about write on the time though? I'm looking at a 4-5 hour job here?
