ok tonite im goin to put the engine bak in.... i was thinking ill be ezer if i have that bumper off.. that way i can get the engine puller futher over the bay... but i was wondering how big of a pain is it to take off... and also how hard is it to put bak oh??? ne suggetions on how to go about it would be great too... also ne suggestion to help get in engine in the car and lined up that would be great too

mattdel

no point in doing that, the actual bumper itself will still be right there

CrazyCobraSpeed

you mean i wont give gain a few inches??? really like 3inchs foward would be nite and day i think.... i didnt know how much room it would give me thats what im asking... think it will only give me an inch or so?

mattdel

less than that. half inch max.

what kind of engine hoist are you using that this is a problem? it should have an extendable arm, no?

w8less

should be about 8-10 bolts if i remember right to take the front bumper off

CrazyCobraSpeed

it does but im on the last notch... its not a high deal.. i maen it will lower into the engine and all its just 3 inchs would make it like 20times ezer... its only me and my dad workign on it... his pretty strong but im not so tryin to make its as simple as possible... nething of us have really dont this b4

mattdel

is the car in the air at all, like ramps or jackstands?

CrazyCobraSpeed

nope all for wheels firmly on the ground

8 bolts doesnt sound to bad.... but if its only for half and inch its not worth it

mattdel

i'm really struggling to imagine this scenario, every engine hoist i've ever used was almost too big, i could have stuck the motor in the front seats if i wanted too..

your saying it wont put the motor in, towards the firewall, far enough?
