Now that the front clip has been removed , the removal of the engine and transmission will
be considerably easier. Bill advises you obtain the factory
manuals for your car, they will contain the instructions for removing
the engine, transmission and drive shaft from the car. Remove the
engine and transmission as a unit if possible.
Do have a fire extinguisher on
hand just in case something hot comes up. I am very glad to have a
cherry picker available to lift out the engine. Building or buying an engine
stand to support the engine during restoration will be part of our plan.
Do check out the Reference
Material section of this website to help you identify the manuals and/or
service bulletins you should be looking for.
Taking lots of photos and careful
labeling of all the parts and pieces will be required. Everything
here will need cleaning and fresh paint. Removal of everything attached
to the firewall and inside the engine compartment will happen during
this step.
Do not continue onto Step 9 until
the body has been stripped completely bare.
