The Engine is Out !

Two weekends ago, on Saturday the 9th, my Dad and I headed over to my Uncle's at 11 in the morning and we tackled what we had left to disconnect on this engine. We mainly just had to disconnect a fuel line, a cable to the transmission, and one last transmission housing bolt that was loose enough to twist out with our fingers. Then the 22RE was ready to be pulled out

 This one actually ended up coming out a lot easier than the first one, which I think was because we jacked up the transmission and also cut out the front of the truck since we have no use for the parts truck after this. Once it was out we found a pretty big mouse nest in the clutch too, luckily they didn't do any damage.

Finally, we tipped the pickup over on its side with the tractor and the frame split in half as we did. All of the valuable parts had already been taken off (besides the wheels) and we wanted to get the transmission out to have as a spare, so we figured this was the easiest way of doing so.

Hopefully before Thanksgiving break we can have the new engine in my 88 pickup and have it running!
