Pulling Engine - Dropping K-Member

I've yanked my motor around 3 times now.. Everytime through the top, I thought I would try dropping the k-member this time.. Any pointers???

I was looking at it yesterday .. Looks like you need to disconnect the computer and the y-pipe and brake lines and everything comes down .. Am I missing something?

Brake lines you can just unhook the 2 front brake lines at the ABS on the fender, Unhook the 2 abs electrical connectors down at the a-arms/wheels, disconnect the 2 power steering lines at the power steering reservoir, remove steering shaft, coolant hoses, etc. Going out the bottom doesn't save much time removing the engine but, putting it back in through the bottom saves a lot since you can have the headers, spark plugs and wires, etc already done out of the car.

yep... helped 3 guys so far do this w/ their cars, including 94 no top... a ton easier to get it back in...

Sean,

Hows it going broh? Glad to see you are back working on getting that Beast running again

My Friend Jim aka Maldo did a great Job of doing the write up on this page:
http://camaroz28.cardomain.com/memberpage/348183/7

And he has more pics and details on this old webpage:

I have more pics of my motor swap (Me and Maldo) did my 383 swap too that I can shoot you on email if you wish. But you will find page 7 of Maldo webpage to have a very detailed write up.

Thanks,
Claude
