Unbolt what you can of the body panels gaining the most access to the engine. Spend at lest 2 hours staring at ever inch of that engine looking for cracks. Then take a SAWZALL with a heavy-duty blade and it will cut that car up like butter. Then when the engine is out spend one hour looking over every inch of that engine for damage. Then 1 hour for lunch now spend another full hour looking for cracks bent brackets, bent studs cracked blocks ECT. Then when you’re loading it on the truck check it again for damage. I did not do this one time that I got a sweet deal on a great engine out of a wreck. And I was out a lot of money plenty of swat and I had a killer engine with a nice hairline crack in the block that dirt was covering hiding the crack. Now I always do the check and recheck until I am sure I have checked every inch. I also bring 10 to 12 cans of brake cleaner and many shop rags.
