Reinstalling Engine

[Kdubski]

Before I open a can of worms installing the engine, does anyone have any advice or things that they wish they knew before they tackled the job?

Going to try something new and ask before I run into problems.

Have a friend help.
I have heard installing the transmission and engine together is easier. After doing it the other way, I would have to say that is an accurate statement.
I had to take off the engine mount support on the left (drivers side) to get things situated. Wish I took it off before I tried sliding things into place.
Trying to save headache, I installed it with headers on, I do not recommend this.
Take the front end off completely and push in from the front. Only takes a little extra time to take the whole front off and makes it very easy to access everything.
That's all I got!

Yes definitely do this. Taking off the front end with the engine already out requires minimal labor and will give you a lot more room.

This!

I removed mine and the engine + trans came out very easily!
