DONE and DONE.
2 bolts t mm hex IIRC, and 2 10mm hex nuts on the dampeners.\
Of course, then we use the engine crane to discover what we forgot to unhook or cut. There were only a few small lines lurking in the shadows and then it came right out.
I think this was a replacement engine--probably junkyard-sourced. The top of the radiator support had been cut out and welded back in. As soon as i started to pull the engine i saw that the job would be much easier with the piece cut back out....and i do not need to weld it back in.
The only other tip i would offer anyone who is contemplating this is a ratchet strap from the rear of the transmission to the lifting hook on the engine crane. I used that to keep the engine more level so the rear of the transmission did not drag over th4e crossmember and i didn't need to lift it very high. Working by myself, i have to always think about safety.
I just need to clean it uo, drain the fluids and strap it to pallet and get it to the shipping company.
Thanks for the help.
