I-5 tool solved, now for engine removal
<<Now, I've been told it is possible to remove the engine from a Coupe GT
through the top, but that it's difficult due to the tight clearances.
Before I embark on this project, should I try to yank it from the top or
pay large $$$ to have someone drop it from the bottom on a lift.>>
Take it out through the top, but in parts. I pull the head/exhaust/intake as
one unit, then the bottom end as a second unit. Phil Payne says he takes the
intake off, then pulls the head and exhaust together. This is dependent upon
how well you can get to the hex head nuts that hold the intake in place.
Since I stripped out the inside of at least one bolt the first two times, I
took that as a warning and now always pull them as one unit.
Later.
