first question... so everyone knows.

what are you trying to accomplish? just pulling the motor? tearing down to the short block to see what's wrong?

[Breecher_7]

Why dont you just go drop it off by Forest....

i have unbolted everything off the front of the block need to pull the motor and replace it since i blew a piston threw the block. just looking for someone to help me with pullin this one doing a cam rockers push rods timing chain on the new block and put it in the car i will bolt the rest of the car up myself

[Breecher_7]

You pullin it out the top or unbolting the K-member and rolling the whole shit out?

[TraNs_aM]

You both think eachother are pieces of shit, i know the story.....

lol funny thing is i'm getting so desperate the thought has actually crossed my mind

[TraNs_aM]

its comming out the top i woulda did threw the bottom but i dont have a lift

[HAMRHEAD]

Do it through the bottom. You don't need a lift just some jackstands (4) and a decent jack. Did it 3 times so far like that and it works better than trying to get it through the top.

Here's some pics of when I did it a few years ago. The block just needs to be torn down to a shortblock.





Wasn't to tuff and fairly quick. Just slide it out the wheel well area then.

So a guy who was partly responsible for wrecking a guys 383 thinks the customer is a POS? Good business.

I've pulled the shortblock w/ an auto trans out through the top with the hood still on the car. not too bad. just need to attach the chain the right way

ya i can't get the chain to the middle of the block so i have it at the end of the heads was thinking that would prob work

damn wish i woulda known that before i have a video of people doing it threw the bottom but i'm already so far and so close to do it threw the top just stuck cuz i can't get the tranny to break apart from the block

There are some tricky bolts on the top

Get a clue before you chime in. Hearing both sides and the details helps.

was told there was one on top that u had to get from behind the motor and 3 on each side i think if i recall.......

[HAMRHEAD]

correct 7 bolts and there are the 2 plugs on the sides that help hold it together. You can use a pry bar and help it seperate. A little on each side at a time. Also make sure the trans is supported as the weight will make it harder to separate.

ya my current delay is the headers in the way i unbolted them but was hoping it would pull out while they lay there and then get them later now i gotta jack the car up to unpry the trans just so frustrated with the car need someone to help motivate me to get back to wanting to work on it i always start getting stuff done and then get stuck and then no one to give me pointers
