One Engine Down, One More to go

I had to use a super long extension to reach the bell housing and starter screws

On Sunday morning, the day after we brought the truck to BF, we got right to work on unhooking the engine from the rest of the body. I had already disconnected most of the cables and hoses but still had to unscrew the bolts that mounted the engine to the frame and the bolts that mounted to the transmission as well. It took a couple of hours and we ran into a some minor issues but we solved them and the process overall went really smoothly which was extremely relieving.

The other engine that we're planning on using for the truck is basically ready to come out too but we wanted to take the "junk" one out first so we can get the idea of how to take it out for the first time and take notes of what works best so we have a lower chance of damaging the good engine.

Hopefully the removal of that other one will happen later this week and then we can drop it right into the engine bay of my pickup and hook up all the connections throughout the weekend.
