Don't cut to much lol, or be sure to also cut your bump stops or what ever they are called
When I helped my dad do an engine swap the easiest way was like you are going to. We had a engine hoist but we just pulled the first car. In unbolted everything lifted the front of the car and pushed it out drove the next car in unbolted everything 're bolted everything from original car and we were good to go. Quick as fudge.

I dunno about you but fudge moves pretty slow lol

Gotta wake up the fasha first . He's a night owl at the ford plant so he sleeps till 5 ish . I'm really thinking we can do this swap inside our garage . I set up the hoist at least

That was a bitch . Luckily most of the exhaust hangers were rusted off but the ones that were on were on very well. [attachment=980]

Thanks man , only thing we have to do is replace or fix the cv shaft on the passenger side . It popped out when we lowered the engine down. Other than that it's ready .
RE: SVT Wagon Build - drunkinmonkey - 06-04-2014
you should be able to just pop it back in. might take a bit of force. I know mine were a pain in the ass to get back in

RE: SVT Wagon Build - 2000zx3sct - 06-08-2014
Valve cover gasket was leaking , so I'm assuming it's burning off the excess oil .
