The only thing I can tell you is that the grill and radiator HAVE to come out (big DUH there!), there really isn't an easy way to do it.

removing pasenger seat and doormay be necessary for the older vans where the motor is in between the front seats, but for the 75-91 models, i know you can get it out from the front of the van. no need to remove anything from the interior but the doghouse. you do need to take out the front grill, cross bracing and radiator up front there, of course.

pretty sure a chilton's or haynes manual would give you more details on how to get the motor out. probably good $12-16 investment, if you don't have one already.

I can't remember exact details, but my dad pulled a 300 out of a 77 we had years ago.

The radiator, grill, and cross brace was taken off. Then the motor was stripped down to the block. Engine lift was hooked as close to block as possible.

Just replaced my last year it comes out the front,like some of the other posts, remove the radiator,grill and the cross member and remove everything on the front of the motor. They make a plate with a hook that attaches to the intake after you remove the carb so you can the engine lift as close as possible to pull it out.Goodluck !!!

engine in

I mentioned to another poster about the Hayne's manuals for Econolines. They are quite helpful. You can get them from any supplier, ie:Napa etc. As for installing, how about first have a dry place to do the work, then rent or borrow an engine hoist. If you get the manual it's got all the steps plainly laid out.

Good luck, Stryder.
