Pulled the other engine
Here's good progress. I set a personal best for an engine pull at 3:15. Well, maybe 4:00 counting that I jacked up the car, removed the front wheels, and drained the radiator the night before.
Things go fast when it's all been apart recently. I put the engine in less than two years ago. Been driving the '80S with a '79 US engine since then. It's fun but the power difference is real.
I used a couple of ticks. One is not much of a traick as the AC system was removed before. No messing with the compressor or the condenser. The real trick is to unbolt the clutch from the flywheel and leave the clutch attached to the intermediate shaft and torque tube. I pulled the radiator and, with the chains hort, the engine engine will come out the front and the hood stays on. I remove the PS reservoir, ignition coil and jump post to gain some clearance. Up and out!
