i have a 89 F250 with the 302 in it i just found a bearing knock in it does anyone know if its possible to change the bearings and the crank in the frame instead of pulling the motor, if so could you advise me on how the best way to do it is thanks, or is there some thing less expensive that it could be? any and all advise would be helpful.

 

It could be done but I think it would be easier to just pull the engine out and not have to stand on your head to do the job. To do it in frame you would have to at least disconnect the tranny and pull it back a ways to access the flywheel for removal, and after that I think you would still have to jack the engine up a bit to remove the pan. I suppose if your feeling frisky (lol) you could do it that way but I am a bit lazy I would pull it out.
