Installing a new (Rebuilt) engine
I have a 1989 F-150, 302, 4 speed, 4x4.
I'm planning on installing a rebuilt engine in the near future. Are there any special tools, beside a clutch alignment tool, I will need to get a hold of?
Is it easier to pull the engine by itself, or should I pull the engine/transmission as a unit? Are there any tricks to any of the process that you guys can share? I've never done it before and would like to know the Do's and Don'ts.
Thanks in advance,
Fire
