[V8] Engine direction of rotation

[Ron Wainwright]

To remove the front end of the car you need too......

 Remove the 6 bumper bolts... after you remove the 2 inner ones toss them in the woods! Once the bumper is off you can remove the chrome trim, 4 phillips screws on eather side of the fender, snake the HL wiper hose out of the Black channel @ that point you will see a bunch of 10mm nuts.... if you loosen the ones that attach to the HL wiper brackets you can pull the trim off complete. Remove the alt cooling tube, 
 Drain the coolant & remove the top, bottom & rez coolant hoses.
remove the oil cooler from under the rad & let it hang, remove the trans cooler lines & tie them up out of the way, remove the 4 AC condensor bolts & let the condensor hang, remove the rad fan & put it to the side.
There will be 4 bolts that hold the front rad support to the frame rails, 4 phillips screws on eather side of the tops of the fenders, & 2 bolts holding the fenders to the HL supports. 
Then just pull the entire front off..... HL's, rad, ect.......

 Not sure these pics will come up... but here are some pics I took while doing a 90 V8 5sp T-belt.
 let me know if you can see the thread with pics.... if you can not I will send them to you privatley.
