We borrowed one for mine, but reading through the ford thing it didn't look that much worse snatching it from the top instead of dropping it from the bottom

^^^ the problem with dropping it from the bottom is that you need a lift. i personally like lifting engine from the top alot more, dotn know why just feel more comfortable.

I'll be back in town this weekend, should do the UPS car show out off Winchester with me, car will be all cleaned up and we'll go for a cruise afterwards.

And when your changing out suspension components let me tell you, dropping out the bottom rules you can get to everything really easily

^^^ very nice. I have only dropped the focus engine/trans from the bottom, never tried anything else lol. I think im gonna give it a shot, looks easier. BTW, that is a very nice shop! So clean, ford stalls I worked where so dirty and ****ty compared to that.

If you have Itunes, it'd be worth buying the episode from Horsepower TV where they tore my car down, they show all your disconnections you need to make. The thing I like the most is you don't risk scratching up all your expensive paint lol

Hmmm, going from the top does seem easier and you don;t need a lift, but if you're going to install LT's you should drop it out the bottom for an easier install. I'll let you guys know what I do when my engine blows up
