Flywheel on? Use flywheel wrench. Alignment dowl and large screwdriver. Bolts in rear of crankshaft and pry bar. So much easier to walk around engine on stand then to try do same in engine bay. Replace gaskets while is on stand. Of course while it is apart will be hard to resist spending for a fresh rings, bearings, or wish a year from now you had.

Out of b blatant curiosity, what exactly went wrong with the cobra swap, if the motor is in there some work had to have been done to the motor mounts / crossmember / shock towers and if its a real cobra motor you've got a gem. In the end its your car / money I'm just curious

I don't think any of the mounts/crossmembers or shock towers were changed. If they were, i'll be continuing the 4.6 as I'm not in the mood to start re-welding back to original. I just want the damn thing to run.

So, i might actually keep the 4.6 since the 5.0 transmission has some issues in 3rd and the clutch was modified for the new 4.6. Brand new A-frame installed to fit the 4.6. All i need is to custom the oilpan to fit. Dry oil sump anyone? Yea, right.
