Wow... Had one outta an 85 F-body. Dropped the drive-shaft, dropped the tranny (manual so it wasn't bad and there were three of us), disconnect the few things actually hooked up to the engine, pop distributer cap, pull the engine. Done.
I don't see how this is difficult by any means.Just need the proper tools.
I realize keeping the tranny attached is easier, but for since it was a manual is wasn't that bad.
