Re: Removing the 350 engine from my 72

Your choice really...depends if the front clip is still in place...

I am assuming you have drained the coolant and removed at least the radiator, fan and electricals etc...

If applicable, AC compressor can be removed from engine only and tied back so you dont lose your charge.

Remove the convertor bolts, push the convertor back into the trans and I usually wire the convertor back so it doesnt fall out.

Remove the distributor cap and rotor and leads...mainly for safety...you dont want to break them.

Remove the exhaust pipes and remove the center bolts from both front engine mounts...

Remove the top two bolts from transmission to engine only...

Lift the engine and trans to clear the mount brackets and place a support under the transmission.

Now remove the remaining four trans to engine bolts...

Lift the engine up slightly and move forward and out of the chassis.
