one more post for me I hope nobody minds, i'll just keep firing out posts and hopefully get a response, kind of like fishing

this one is easy, how do you guys remove engines from your van's? I have a 1994 4.9L-6 and the clearances seem really tight to get it out the front, and it's impossible for me to get it out from underneath. The subframe doesn't unbolt, and even if i take the bumper off that crossmember seems to be in the way.

I was thinking that by taking the top of the intake manifold off I could squeeze a hoist in and lift it that way.

Any other suggestions? remove the oil pan? valve cover?

 

anyone?

 

not to sure never did a engine job on van i think you have to take the front apart the whole front core support should unbolt and then once your ready to come out you gotta come foward and out wit the engine
