Pulling an engine & trans from a E-Series van
This is my first time pulling an engine and transmission from an E-series van. I've never had any experience at all as to the do's and don'ts for pulling an engine and transmission from one of these.
Anything i specifically need to do or look out for? The engine won't be going back into the van, so if i have to "modify" or "persuade" something out of the way, there is no love lost.
Any info is appreciated... and thanks!

To get some more specific info, let us know what engine and transmission you have.
I just rebuilt my 300. I did all the work myself except the machine shop work.
I took many many photos, so I could remember how to put it back together! I have several of those photos posted in my gallery.

The engine is a 351W and its hooked to a C6. My only real interest here is the C6, but both have to come out as i've already got someone interested in the motor. I just figured that it would be easier to pull the engine/trans together than to yank them seperately.

Pull the grill, radiator, and core support, then unbolt the exahaust manifolds, and upper intake if it's EFI. Then remove the driveshaft, and unbolt the trans from it's mount, then the motor mounts, pick it up high enough to clear the motor mounts and pull oyut hte front.
