ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    If I'm not mistaken, you can't. The front cross member prevents it.

      You can drop your motor from the bottom, if you have a suitable setup to do so.

        If you have a hoist, go for it. The mechanic at my work does all the engine pulls this way. He'll drop suspension, cradle, motor and all.

        If you don't have a hoist, get a cherry picker and pull it out from above.

          To make this feasible you would need to remove the intake manifold, exhaust manifold and the bar that ties the two cross embers together. Even then you may have to remove one of the strut rods or do some fancy handwork on your load leveler to clear them. You would also need to do this on a lift and lift the car from the ground to clear the engine.

          All that said, why do you (and the occasional other person that asks) want to do it this way? Everyone else has success pulling it from the top. What's so bad about it?

              But you have a lift?

              You can buy one at Harbor Freight for around $175 or you can rent one for about $25/day from many tool rental places.

                  If you have never done this before, rent it for the day, I paid $40 for 24 hours.
