Now i'm looking to forge the internals. Question on pulling the motor. Will the motor and tranny come out from the top? Any suggestions when pulling them out?

 

hey goodluck with the build...make it better by getting 03 cobra heads!!!!! and yes the motor comes striaght out of the hood, both buddies of mine blew the motors in their 97s and they both pulled em out from the top with patience and one of those engine jacks

 

Congrats on blowing your motor

 

I think it may have broken a rod. I figured it was a good chance to upgrade. I'll know once I get it out of the car.

 

+1! Gives an excuse to upgrade!!

 

Haha! i just had to post, to funny of a title

 

IMO it's easier to pull the radiator and wrap a chain around the core support and lift the car with the engine hoist and drop the entire k-member on a wheel dolly. Just did 2 cars a few weeks ago like that. You can just roll the engine out from under the car with the wheel dolly and call it a day. It will make it easier to clean up the engine bay while you're at it.

 

i got a 99 i also blew it up me and my friend got the motor out in one night, well it would of been one night if i wasant missing a tool, im getting mine built atm, all forged internals, cams, stainless steele valves, port polish, and valve job, im throwing about 9,000 dollers in the car right now, its very esy pulling it from the top

 

this.

 

Do it my way and the whole thing will be out in 2 hours or less.
